That is not my experience.  I haven’t tried a MIPS64 kernel built with clang, 
but with in-tree gcc I get kernel panics as soon as I try to use NFS, unless I 
use Stacey’s patches that increase the kernel stack size.
I have primarily been using modern GCC for GCC once that was working, but at
least when running a MALTA64 kernel under qemu I was not triggering panics
even with old GCC.  With the in-tree clang 5.0 or with CHERI clang, just
doing an 'ls' of a NFS directory or even a tab-complete of a path that
is on NFS reliably triggers a kernel stack overflow for MALTA64 in qemu.

With Stacey's kstack pages, a clang kernel does survive, but those are not
in stock FreeBSD which is where I have been testing this.


With GCC 4, it takes a little while, but trying to build ports over NFS is a sure-fire way to bring down the kernel. I haven't tried any other compilers.
