It is something recent:

Printing the variable name and address gives:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.btf
  BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
error: found variable "(null)" (addr: 0xffffffff82f4e260) in CU '/home/acme/git/linux/security/selinux/hooks.c' that has void type
Encountered error while encoding BTF.

Unsure if this is related:

Don't know what this is, but what Hao proposed (to check everything
only after we make sure that the variable has a proper per-CPU symbol
in ELF) would eliminate all that, so I think we should do just that.

But I'm surprised I didn't see any of those issues in my kernel
configurations and environment (though I use GCC 8, still, so that
might explain).
