LLC is meant for compiler development and debugging. Consequently, it
exposes many low level options about its backend. To avoid future bugs
introduced by using the raw LLC tool, use clang directly so that all
appropriate options are passed to the back end.

Additionally, the native clang build rule was not being use in the
selftests Makefile, so remove it.

Agree that this indeed make build system simpler.

This is true too. Otherwise, native clang build will require both
clang and llc runs.

The patch looks good and I have a few comments and hopefully
you can accommodate.

Yes, we still use +dwarfris here.
The original llvm patch which introduded +dwarfris is:
 
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/03e1c8b8f9cc7b898217b7789d3887a903443c93
it is to workaround an elfutils/libdw issue as it does not support bpf 
backend so pahole cannot display debuginfo structures properly.
Subsequently, the elfutils/libdw bpf support is added at
 
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=c1990d36cfe37a30bcc49422c37a6767fd190559

Any recent pahole should already build with the above fix.
I tested with pahole 1.16 it works fine for binaries built without
+dwarfris. Also BTF now can be used to dump structures.

So could you also accommodate the change to remove +dwarfris option?

The +alu32 is only used for non-alu32 case where -mcpu=v3 actually 
implies alu32. So let us remove TRUNNER_BPF_LDFLAGS flag from Makefile too.

Thank you for reviewing. I will make those changes and send a v2 of the patch.
