As hinted by the error, this is because <sysroot>/include/linux/stddef.h (a stripped-down version of uapi/include/linux/stddef.h) includes linux/compiler_types.h directly. However, this gets resolved to tools/include/linux/compiler_types.h, which is not expected to be included directly. To resolve this, I added tools/include/uapi to the include paths when building objtool. With this trick, linux/stddef.h is resolved to tools/include/uapi/linux/stddef.h, which doesn't include linux/compiler_types.h.
