Compiles with LLVM 19, Fails with this error on >= 20:

```
<source>:3:6: error: Looks like the BPF stack limit is exceeded. Please move large on stack variables into BPF per-cpu array map. For non-kernel uses, the stack can be increased using -mllvm -bpf-stack-size.

Reducing the memcpy size to 40 or similar reveals that the code now spills to stack, for seemingly no reason:

```
cpy:
        r3 = meow ll
        [...]
        w2 = *(u32 *)(r3 + 8)
        *(u64 *)(r10 - 24) = r2
        *(u8 *)(r1 + 8) = w2
 w2 = *(u32 *)(r3 + 4)
        *(u64 *)(r10 - 16) = r2
        *(u8 *)(r1 + 4) = w2
        w3 = *(u32 *)(r3 + 0)
        *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = r3
        *(u8 *)(r1 + 0) = w3
        [...]
```
