Ok, so there's three BPF builds, in addition to selftests/bpf. Do you
suggest moving (cross-compiled) libbpf builds (for bpf_helpers_defs.h
generation) and some kind of clang BPF build-rule to lib.mk? Or would
you like more things there, like resolve_btfids?

I guess this patch could go in regardless, and fix the build *now*, and
do a lib.mk thing as a follow-up?
