I see that config is not building anymore:

BTF: .tmp_vmlinux.btf: pahole version v1.9 is too old, need at least v1.16
Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
Makefile:1162: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed

This is not anyhow top the bug itself, if it still happens or not. So
this does not look like a valid reason to close the bug.

There are two options:
1. Attach a patch for testing that disables CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
(e.g. delete it, or make it dependent on some disabled config, not
sure what's the easiest working option).
2. Test locally with the config disabled.
