Bug description:

Hi together,

After updating llvm-bolt to 19.1.0 it is not possible to use the --enable-bolt function anymore.
Following can be found in the log:

BOLT-ERROR: unable to get new address corresponding to input address 0x1a6e11 in function sre_ucs1_match/1. Consider adding this function to --skip-funcs=...

make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pkg/src/Python-3.12.7'

so, it appears to fail at the instrumentation and suggest to add --skip-funcs=sre_ucs1_match/*.
