Looking at error message from log:

  LLVM_OBJCOPY=/opt/binutils/bin/objcopy /opt/pahole/bin/pahole -J
.tmp_vmlinux.btf
[115] INT DW_ATE_unsigned_1 Error emitting BTF type
Encountered error while encoding BTF.

Not exactly what is the root cause. Maybe bt->bit_size is not
encoded correctly. Could you put vmlinux (in the above it is
.tmp_vmlinux.btf) somewhere, I or somebody else can investigate
and provide a proper fix.
