Sure thing, this worked for me in the Linux source you would like to
build (I marked it readonly to make sure any modifications were done in
my host environment, remove the ':ro' if you would like to make edits to
the source within the container). Docker should work as well but I did
not test it.
$ podman run --rm -ti -v $PWD:/linux:ro docker.io/archlinux:base-devel
# pacman -Syyu --noconfirm bc clang lib32-glibc lld llvm python
...
# To turn on CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
# make -C /linux -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld LLVM=1 O=/build defconfig menuconfig
# make -C /linux -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld LLVM=1 O=/build prepare
ld.lld: error: /build/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids//resolve_btfids-in.o is incompatible with elf64-x86-64

Ack, if you have any issues with reproducing it, please let me know.
