Just `make` is sufficient to reproduce it here:

# make
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  DESCEND  objtool
  DESCEND  bpf/resolve_btfids
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  GEN     .version

FAILED unresolved symbol cubictcp_state
make: *** [Makefile:1199: vmlinux] Error 255

I suspect it is related to the kernel config or linker version.
