So somehow you end up with .eh_frame section in BPF object file, which
shouldn't ever happen. So there must be something that you are doing
differently (compiler flags or something else) that makes Clang
produce .eh_frame. So we need to figure out why .eh_frame gets
generated. Not sure how, but maybe you have some ideas of what might
be different about your build.
