Given the somewhat complicated cross compile I wasn't able to get a
reproduction. Could you see if the following addresses the problem:
```
diff --git a/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile
b/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile
index daed388aa5d7..a06966841df4 100644
--- a/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile
+++ b/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile
@@ -19,10 +19,9 @@ endif
# always use the host compiler
HOST_OVERRIDES := AR="$(HOSTAR)" CC="$(HOSTCC)" LD="$(HOSTLD)"

- EXTRA_CFLAGS="$(HOSTCFLAGS) $(KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS)"
+ EXTRA_CFLAGS="$(HOSTCFLAGS) $(KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS)"
CROSS_COMPILE=""
RM ?= rm
-CROSS_COMPILE =
OUTPUT ?= $(srctree)/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/
```
Thanks,
