With the attached diff I get again:

+ info BTF .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
+ [ != silent_ ]
+ printf %-7s %s\n BTF .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
BTF .btf.vmlinux.bin.o

Encountered error while encoding BTF.
+ llvm-objcopy --only-section=.BTF --set-section-flags
.BTF=alloc,readonly --strip-all .tmp_vmlinux.btf .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
...
+ info BTFIDS vmlinux
+ [ != silent_ ]
+ printf %-7s %s\n BTFIDS vmlinux
BTFIDS vmlinux
+ ./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: Invalid argument
+ on_exit

Can someone please look at the attached diff?
Thanks.
