It would be great to be able to repro it as part of selftests. Can you
try gcc 12 with selftests/bpf and see if you get the same problem?

If you are referring to DO_PRAGMA example? That example is done that
way to do argument stringification, but not because _Pragma can't be
used as is in macros.

I don't like the obscurity of the changes in this patch and don't see
how it fundamentally changes anything. So I'd like to actually try to
be able to repro it and see what other solutions there are before
committing to this.

I also suspect that it's only the SEC() macro that's problematic and
we shouldn't touch any other macro at all. But again, I'd like to get
a repro first.
