next-20220721 build fails on IBM Power server with following error:

libbpf.c: In function 'bpf_program__attach_ksyscall':
libbpf.c:10130:45: error: '%s' directive argument is null [-Werror=format-truncation=]

next-20220719 was good. Git bisect points to following commit

Commit 708ac5bea0ce
libbpf: add ksyscall/kretsyscall sections support for syscall kprobes


Reverting this commit allows me to build the kernel.

Have attached .config used for build.
