What do you mean 'no luck'?
Have you tried what progs/test_core_reloc_type_id.c is doing?
typedef int (*func_proto_typedef)(long);
bpf_core_type_id_kernel(func_proto_typedef);

Without macros:
typedef int (*func_proto_typedef)(long);

int test() {
   return __builtin_btf_type_id(*(typeof(func_proto_typedef) *)0, 1);
}
int test2() {
   return __builtin_preserve_type_info(*(typeof(func_proto_typedef) *)0, 0);
}


compiles fine and generates relos.
