You mean a 64-bit build with 'nommu_virt_defconfig', right? There isn't a
'rv64_nommu_virt_defconfig' that I know of.

I can't reproduce this. The following commands work fine for me

 $ make ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu- O=build nommu_virt_defconfig
 $ make ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu- O=build -j$(nproc)

And llvm also works

 $ make ARCH=riscv LLVM=1 O=build-llvm nommu_virt_defconfig
 $ make ARCH=riscv LLVM=1 O=build-llvm -j$(nproc)

Additionally, I can't see how riscv_cbom_block_size wouldn't be defined.
It's exported from arch/riscv/mm/cacheflush.c, which is always built,
and no ifdefery wraps it.
