Sorry if I'm being dense here. But what's the point in enabling
DEBUG_INFO_BTF if there is no *valid* DWARF info available for
DWARF-to-BTF conversion?

Which I thought is exactly what we wanted to avoid. Not sure what's
the point of compiling kernel (even if it's the one that is not
supposed to ever run) that apriori has broken BTF? If it was
acceptable to not have DEBUG_INFO for COMPILE_TEST, why it's not
acceptable to not have DEBUG_INFO_BTF in that situation as well?
