To check the values of the above preprocessor defines, please run:
$ clang -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep -e __clang_m -e __clang_p

If you have multiple versions of clang installed, you might not be
running the version you think you are.  Particularly, if you're using
bcc, idk if it includes a copy of clang?  If that's the case, we may
have to work out how we can support older versions of clang for the
express purposes of bpf.
