I also met this on 6.9-rc1 and this patch could solve the issue.

I suspect this is introduced by 9707ac4fe2f5 ("tools/resolve_btfids: Refactor set sorting with types from btf_ids.h")?

Since we didn't contain this header before and compiling was fine, could we only include
this header in tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/main.c where error happens (tested fine)?

There's a same fix in [1] and the glibc/compiler version was blamed there. I compiled on
Ubuntu 18.04.1 with gcc 10.2.0 and glibc 2.27.
