Oh yes, indeed! I'm using clang/libclang-14 with gcc-13, if I switch to
clang-15 everything seems fine, so I can simply move to this version.

The combo gcc-13 + libclang-15 seems to work in my case, instead with
libclang-16 I get this:

  BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs
  thread 'main' panicked at '"ftrace_branch_data_union_(anonymous_at__/_/include/linux/compiler_types_h_146_2)" is not a valid Ident', /build/rust-bindgen-0.56-DgAMvF/rust-bindgen-0.56-0.56.0/debian/vendor/proc-macro2-1.0.24/src/fallback.rs:693:9
