Strange, I just tried on bpf-next, removed -Wno-switch-enum and got
tons of errors:

libbpf.c: In function ‘bpf_object__sanitize_prog’:
libbpf.c:5560:3: error: enumeration value ‘BPF_FUNC_unspec’ not
handled in switch [-Werror=switch-enum]
   switch (func_id) {
   ^~~~~~
libbpf.c:5560:3: error: enumeration value ‘BPF_FUNC_map_lookup_elem’
not handled in switch [-Werror=switch-enum]
libbpf.c:5560:3: error: enumeration value ‘BPF_FUNC_map_update_elem’
not handled in switch [-Werror=switch-enum]
... and many more ...

My compiler:

$ cc --version
cc (GCC) 8.2.1 20180801 (Red Hat 8.2.1-2)
