if X1.X2.X3, where X = {0,1,....99999}
Then it can be:

-LIBBPF_VERSION := $(shell \
-       grep -oE '^LIBBPF_([0-9.]+)' libbpf.map | \
-       sort -rV | head -n1 | cut -d'_' -f2)
+_LBPFLIST := $(patsubst %;,%,$(patsubst LIBBPF_%,%,$(filter LIBBPF_%, \
+           $(shell cat libbpf.map))))
+_LBPFLIST2 := $(foreach v,$(_LBPFLIST), \
+               $(subst $() $(),,$(foreach n,$(subst .,$() $(),$(v)), \
+                       $(shell printf "%05d" $(n)))))
+_LBPF_VER := $(word $(words $(sort $(_LBPFLIST2))), $(sort $(_LBPFLIST2)))
+LIBBPF_VERSION := $(patsubst %_$(_LBPF_VER),%,$(filter %_$(_LBPF_VER), \
+        $(join $(addsuffix _, $(_LBPFLIST)),$(_LBPFLIST2))))

It's bigger but avoids invocations of grep/sort/cut/head, only cat/printf
, thus -V option also.
