But if I uninstall clang and build without BPF skels, i.e. no BPF based
'perf trace' collection of syscall pointer args, I stumble in some other
problem on this debian (raspbian) system:

root@aquarius:~# ls -la /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls
ls: cannot access '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls': No such file or directory
root@aquarius:~# 

Unsure where to find the config used to build this kernel:

root@aquarius:~# uname -a
Linux aquarius 5.10.103-v7+ #1529 SMP Tue Mar 8 12:21:37 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux
root@aquarius:~#

normally is in /boot/ but I'm no debian user, ideas?

But at least it builds, would that be enough? I don't think so, I'd like
to see this working...
