Failed to compile eBPF code for the Linux distro 'debian' running kernel version 6.8.0-86-generic

What happened?

Description

Install EBPF helm chart on Ubuntu 2404, and the collector kernel pod, although running, emits the following error:

root@corgi-jumper:~# kubectl logs -f my-opentelemetry-ebpf-kernel-collector-lnlnp -n ebpf

the problem.
In the meantime, please install kernel headers manually on each host before running
the Kernel Collector. 

Steps to Reproduce

helm repo add open-telemetry https://open-telemetry.github.io/opentelemetry-helm-charts
helm install my-opentelemetry-ebpf open-telemetry/opentelemetry-ebpf -n ebpf
check logs of kernel collector pod

Expected Result

transmission of metrics

Actual Result

Errors in data collection.

eBPF Collector version

v0.10.2

Environment information

Environment

OS: Ubuntu 2404
Kernel version: 6.8.0-86-generic.

eBPF Collector configuration

use the default values.yaml in helm chart
