thanks all for the quick root-cause analysis and proposed fixes!
Explicitly checking these cases in the btf_endian selftest is probably
worthwhile; I've put together tests that do that for non-native
endianness but just noticed you mentioned you're working on tests
Eduard. Is that what you had in mind?

Arnaldo: apologies but I think we'll either need to back out the
distilled stuff for 1.28 or have a new libbpf resync that captures the
fixes for endian issues once they land. Let me know what works best for
you. Thanks!
