I'm having hard time cross building test_progs:

~/linux-powerpc/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/$ make CROSS_COMPILE=ppc-linux-
...
   GEN 
/home/chr/linux-powerpc/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/bpftool/Documentation/bpf-helpers.7
   INSTALL  eBPF_helpers-manpage
   INSTALL  Documentation-man
   GEN      vmlinux.h
/bin/sh: /home/chr/linux-powerpc/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/sbin/bpftool: cannot execute 
binary file
make: *** [/home/chr/linux-powerpc/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/vmlinux.h] Error 126
make: *** Deleting file `/home/chr/linux-powerpc/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/vmlinux.h'

Looks like it builds bpftool for powerpc and tries to run it on my x86.
How should I proceed ?

Thanks
Christophe
