When I did a `git clean` I noticed that `tools/bpf/bpftool/vmlinux`
existed but the failure appeared to look like the file was expected
under `debian/build/tools-perarch/tools/bpf/bpftool/vmlinux`. With this
hacky patch I managed to get the build to complete:
```
diff --git a/debian/rules.d/2-binary-arch.mk b/debian/rules.d/2-binary-arch.mk
index 986a18d7abac9..398e6dc3a3434 100644

rm -f $(builddirpa)/vmlinux
```
I don't know if using an alternate output path somehow interacts with
this method to find the vmlinux file, i.u. a file is found in one place
so it is not rebuilt but that place is not the same that 2-binary-
arch.mk expects. Makefiles are not my speciality though so likely I've
just found a working bodge:)
```
VMLINUX_BTF_PATHS ?= $(if $(O),$(O)/vmlinux) \
$(if $(KBUILD_OUTPUT),$(KBUILD_OUTPUT)/vmlinux) \
../../../vmlinux \
/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux )libbpf/ \
/boot/vmlinux-$(shell uname -r)
VMLINUX_BTF ?= $(abspath $(firstword $(wildcard $(VMLINUX_BTF_PATHS))))
```
