If missing the test will get skipped. Thank you for doing this, I will try to have a look next week. About the overall approach to getting the BPF object file, I understand the= clang part, but do we really need to convert object files to headers and t= hen write them back? Could we just pass these object files around as test r= esources instead? Not that xxd was not present in most systems, but looks l= ike extra work and complexity.
