Can you try a build of the kernel or the by passing the
--skip_encoding_btf_enum64 to scripts/pahole-flags.sh?

Here's a patch for either in tree scripts/pahole-flags.sh or
/usr/lib/modules/5.19.3-arch1-1/build/scripts/pahole-flags.sh

diff --git a/scripts/pahole-flags.sh b/scripts/pahole-flags.sh
index 0d99ef17e4a528..1f1f1d397c399a 100755
