Description
I am following this guide: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/INSTALL.md?utf8=%E2%9C%93#debian---source
I had to modify `CMakeLists.txt` to include the -std=c++11 option so it would build at all. But when running `debuild -b -uc -us`, numerous tests fail with the exception "Exception: Failed to compile BPF module", and debuild hangs on test "Start 29: py_test_tools_memleak"
Any idea what's wrong? I am running a 4-14-rc7 kernel on debian version 8.9.
Attached is my build output.

Research direction
Start with INSTALL.md's Debian source-build instructions and the attached build output; reproduce debuild -b -uc -us on Debian 8.9 with kernel 4.14-rc7. Inspect the failed BPF compilation and py_test_tools_memleak test. Done means identifying the cause and making the source build complete without those failures or documenting the supported setup.
