+     - For clang -target bpf, it is guaranteed that pointer or long /
+       unsigned long types will always have a width of 64 bit, no matter
+       whether underlying clang binary or default target (or kernel) is
+       32 bit. However, when native clang target is used, then it will
+       compile these types based on the underlying architecture's conventions,
+       meaning in case of 32 bit architecture, pointer or long / unsigned
+       long types e.g. in BPF context structure will have width of 32 bit
+       while the BPF LLVM back end still operates in 64 bit. The native
+       target is mostly needed in tracing for the case of walking pt_regs

    You should use default target when:
 
      - Your program includes a header file, e.g., ptrace.h, which eventually
