Looks like some distros enabled this option - either disable the
option or install pahole. Not a regression.

Keep in mind that CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is a dependency to build
bpf tests. bpf build pulls kernel defines from BTF to generate a
header file. Not desirable to generate header that conflicts with
standard libgcc defines which is not relevant to this conversation.
