I think this is due to commit 83a092cf95f28 ("powerpc: Link warning for
orphan sections"):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=83a092cf95f28
If your question was why I didn't include the .BTF section in .data,
it's because libbpf seems to expect the .BTF section to be separate.

PS: I also see a linker warning for '.gnu.hash' if I enable
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, but I couldn't decipher what that was for, and if it
should be retained.
