Thanks! I tested that it still works with clang.

Acked-by: Quentin Monnet <qmo@xxxxxxxxxx>

I didn't manage to compile with gcc, though. I tried with gcc 15.1.1 but
option '--target=bpf' is apparently unrecognised by the gcc version on
my setup.

Out of curiosity, how did you build using gcc for the skeleton? Was it
enough to run "CLANG=gcc make"? Does it pass the clang-bpf-co-re build
probe successfully?

Thanks,
Quentin
