fixing, that way no breakage would have happened.

Ok. I trimmed commit log and applied here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf.git/commit/?id=1fd450f99272791df8ea8e1b0f5657678e118e90

What about your other fix and my suggestion there?
(__u64) cast instead of PRI ?
We do this already in two places:
libbpf.c:                shdr_idx, (__u64)sym->st_value);
libbpf.c:             (__u64)sym.st_value,
GELF_ST_TYPE(sym.st_info),

I'm using the smartphone now, but I thought you first suggested using
a cast to long, if you mean using %llu + cast to __u64, then should be
was ugly as using PRI, IOW, should work on both 64 bit and 32 bit. :-)

Yes. I suggested (long) first, but then found two cases in libbpf that
solve this with (__u64),
so better to stick to that for consistency.
If it's already being used elsewhere in lubbpf, it was tested already with the build containers and since nobody complained, go with it :-)
