Hi, This set attempts to make it easier to build bpftool, in particular when passing a specific output directory. This is a follow-up to the conversation held last month by Lorenz, Ilya and Jakub [0].
The first patch is a minor fix to bpftool's Makefile, regarding the retrieval of kernel version (which currently prints a non-relevant make warning on some invocations). Second patch improves the Makefile commands to support more "make" invocations, or to fix building with custom output directory. On Jakub's suggestion, a script is also added to BPF selftests in order to keep track of the supported build variants. At last, third patch is a sligthly modified version of Ilya's fix regarding libbpf.a appearing twice on the linking command for bpftool.
