So I think the failure is because you enabled CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES.
I can reproduce your buggy result by selecting
CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES in my kbuild:
$ ./perf test LLVM
35: LLVM search and compile :
35.1: Basic BPF llvm compile : Ok
35.2: kbuild searching : Ok
35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation: FAILED!
35.4: Compile source for BPF relocation : Skip
Simply undef CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES in clang opts not working
because it is introduced by "#include <uapi/linux/fs.h>", which override
cmdline options. So I think the best way is to undefine 'if' inside BPF
script.
