I haven't checked which of the patches, or some in other series caused
this on Clear Linux:

  21 clearlinux:latest             : FAIL gcc (Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture) 10.2.1 20200723 releases/gcc-10.2.0-3-g677b80db41, clang ver

  gcc (Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture) 10.2.1 20200723 releases/gcc-10.2.0-3-g677b80db41

  btf.c: In function 'btf__parse_raw':
  btf.c:625:28: error: 'btf' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
    625 |  return err ? ERR_PTR(err) : btf;
        |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~

This is what I have:
