Seeking input from BPF-llvm developers. How come Clang/LLVM 10+ is
generating incompatible BTF-info in ELF file, and downgrading to LLVM-9
fixes the issue ?

It appears to be an issue with Clang/LLVM 10+

https://github.com/cilium/ebpf/issues/43

This is newer Clang recording that function is global, not static.
libbpf is sanitizing BTF to remove this flag, if kernel doesn't
support this. But given this is re-implementation of libbpf, that's
probably not happening, right?

'vlen != 0' is the error. Not sure why you hit that; what's the output
of 'bpftool btf dump file yourprog.o' ?
