Thanks.

I got them building with something like:

 - turning on DEBUG_INFO and DEBUG_INFO_BTF and rebuilding vmlinux
 - grabbing clang 13 from: 
   https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-13.0.0/clang+llvm-13.0.0-powerpc64le-linux-ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz
 - PATH=$HOME/clang+llvm-13.0.0-powerpc64le-linux-ubuntu-18.04/bin/:$PATH
 - apt install:
   - libelf-dev
   - dwarves
   - python-docutils
   - libcap-dev


The DEBUG_INFO requirement is a bit of a pain for me. I generally don't
build with that enabled, because the resulting kernels are stupidly
large. I'm not sure if that's a hard requirement, or if the vmlinux has
to match the running kernel exactly?

There is logic in tools/testing/bpf/Makefile to use VMLINUX_H instead of
extracting the BTF from the vmlinux (line 247), but AFAICS that's
unreachable since 1a3449c19407 ("selftests/bpf: Clarify build error if
no vmlinux"), which makes it a hard error to not have a VMLINUX_BTF.

cheers
