Also can be replaced a lidder harder, with:

LIBBPFMAP := $(shell cat libbpf.map)
LIBBPF_VERSIONS := $(sort $(patsubst %;,%,$(patsubst LIBBPF_%,%,$(filter LIBBPF_%, $(LIBBPFMAP)))))
LIBBPF_VERSION := $(word $(words $(LIBBPF_VERSIONS)), $(LIBBPF_VERSIONS))

You choose, I'm not sure in "sort" of make the same on all systems.
