Nevermind, I now see the same problem in lots of files in a configuration
setting these options:

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y

Not sure which of these are actually relevant, but I had other configurations
setting DEBUG_INFO that are not affected.
