BTW: i found this false positive had been reported multiple times in history,
in your previous reply [0], you had mentioned below to add a Kconfig dependency,
is it the workaround you refer to?

	I had a look at this bug, and found that this is not caused by my commit, but
	rather is the result of CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN with BE8 format being
	incompatible with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF.

	I'm sure there is an easy fix but I have not found it. Should we just
	add a Kconfig
	dependency to prevent this, or does anyone have an idea for a proper fix?
