I'm trying to compile a BPF enabled test kernel for a live system and I
get this error even though I have much newer clang:

➜  ~ (master) ✔ clang --version          
Ubuntu clang version 11.0.0-2
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

Tried to Google for troubleshooter tips but this patch is basically the
only hit I get :-)
