pahole, which generates BTF, relies on elfutils to process DWARF debug info. Because kernel modules are relocatable files, elfutils needs to resolve relocations when processing the DWARF .debug sections. Hexagon is not supported in binutils or elfutils, so elfutils is unable to process relocations in kernel modules, causing pahole to crash during BTF generation. Do not allow CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF to be selected for Hexagon until it is supported in elfutils, so that there are no more cryptic build failures during BTF generation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
