Can you please take a look at what is at:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf_trace-btf_enum

?

I have it building on my set of containers, so far:

perfbuilder@number:~$ export BUILD_TARBALL=http://192.168.86.42/perf/perf-6.10.0-rc3.tar.xz
perfbuilder@number:~$ time dm

And that is what I'm planning to have merged into perf-tools-next, for
6.12, as soon as the next merge window closes.

Tomorrow I'll not be able to participate on the perf-tools Office hours,
I´ll be starting a two week long vacation, I'll be able to reply to some
messages occasionally and if needed do any GSoC procedure step.

Best regards,
