Hi Shung-Hsi,

One option is to use CO-RE, e.g. as at the bottom of this email
(not sure if people would agree with me).
But that would not produce usable test anyways,
as load would fail with unresolved CO-RE relocation.

But what is your final goal?
As far as I understand, selftests are supposed to be built and run
using specific configuration, here is how config for x86 CI is prepared:

./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh \
         ./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/config \
         ./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/config.vm \
         ./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/config.x86_64

(root is kernel source).
I'm not sure if other configurations are supposed to be supported.

Thanks,
Eduard
