Getting same error with the Debian/WSL distro. No newer dwarves than 1.10-2.1+b1.

Apparently this is Debian Stretch (v9), and it needs to be updated to Bullseye (v11). This doc details how to move from Buster to Bullseye, i.e. 10 to 11 but it's the same process from 9.

Following the upgrade, we get

$  apt list dwarves
Listing... Done
dwarves/stable,now 1.20-1 amd64 [installed]
$ pahole --version
v1.20

...and you can go back and run your make.

BPF Type Format can be disabled in config, so pahole won't be needed.

In the kernel config:

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=n
