fails:

----------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

There are changes in bpftool v6.8.0 that assumes the existence of
particular data structures in generated vmlinux.h that is obtained
from the host machine. See [1] for further details. This commit adds
a patch to revert that additional change in v6.8.0.

There's a patch series pending to be submitted upstream [2]. Hopefully,
those will take care of the problem if they land in the next release.

Changelog:
v1: Initial submission [3]
v2: Use a full fledged git patch for bpftool [4]
v3: Fix the snafu that resulted in malformed patch file

+Subject: [PATCH] Revert commit "bpftool: Add bpf_cookie to link output"
+
+Building bpftool on a Debian bullseye with clang-11 fails [1].
+This patch reverts the offending commit [2]. If clang-11 is not
+installed, then the "co-re" feature of bpf will not be enabled
+and the issue remains dormant.
