we can also add if (!cands) return into bpf_core_free_cands(), like
all other public destructor APIs in libbpf do

same, libbpf 1.0 mode, no need for libbpf_get_error()

nit: "BPF object"? I'm not sure we do this consistently, but BPF
should be spelled with capitals in logs

it feels like you forgot to submit some important patch, as I said, I
can't find bpf_core_calc_relo_insn() anywhere

at least let's leave a comment that specs_scratch[2] is target spec
(but that's an implementation detail, ugh...)

naming nit: btfgen is actually misleading. pahole is "btfgen", but
this is actually some sort of "BTF minimizer". So something like
"minimize_btf" would be a bit more descriptive

normally tools don't advertise each action through logs, unless it's
some verbose mode. Let's dop one BTF generated per one bpftool
invocation and drop all this descriptive logging. User will know input
and output BTFs exactly, because they will specify it as input
arguments (so no need to parse any output just to know what went
where, etc).
