Would it better to just warn? Seems like this shouldn't be fatal from
bpftool side?
Also this is a potentially breaking change correct? Programs that _did_
work in the unstrict might suddently fail in the strict mode? If this
is the case whats the versioning plan? We don't want to leak these
type of changes across multiple versions, idealy we have a hard
break and bump the version.
I didn't catch a cover letter on the series. A small
note about versioning and upgrading bpftool would be helpful.

This wont potentially break existing programs correct? It looks like
just adding a '/' should be fine.
Thanks,
