Hmm, clang at -O0 is the same in versions 18, 19, and 20. The change
from v17 is easy enough to workaround as in the attached, which
produces identical output as master at -O2. Does this fix it for you?
If that's not it, it may be more difficult, as the change at -O0 from
v16 to v17 is large, so it's hard to see what's going on.
