Thanks for reporting. I did some preliminary investigation and the
failure is due to that we do not support CORE-based bitfield store
yet. Besides disabling CORE-relocation as in this patch, there
are a few ways to do this:
   - Change the code to avoid bitfield store and use 1/2/4/8 byte(s)
     store. A little bit ugly but it should work.
   - Use to-be-supported 'preserve_static_offset'
     (https://reviews.llvm.org/D133361)
     to preserve the offset. This might work (I didn't
     try it yet).
   - Eduard did some early study trying to remove CORE attribute
     (preserve_access_index) from UAPI structures. In this particular
     case, erspan_metadata is in /usr/include/linux/erspan.h.

We will also investigate whether we could store bitfield store
directly with CORE.

This is a temporary workaround and hopefully we can lift it in the
near future. Please add a comment here with prefix 'Workaround' to
explain why this is needed and later on we can earliy search the
keyword and remember to tackle this.
