You'll hit this whenever you have global variables in your .bpf.c
code. It's very important part, so let's make sure it is covered. Try
using both `const volatile` read-only variables (they will end up in
.rodata datasec) and global non-read-only variables (they will go into
.data, if initialized to non-zero defaults, or .bss if
zero-initialized).

Yes, it probably makes sense to check expected JSON output is
generated for a few example BPF object files.
