Commit be79505caf3f ("tools/runqslower: Install libbpf headers when
building") uses the target libbpf to build the host bpftool, which
doesn't work when cross-building:

  make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -C tools/bpf/runqslower O=/tmp/runqslower
  ...
    LINK    /tmp/runqslower/bpftool/bpftool
  /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/runqslower/libbpf/libbpf.a(libbpf-in.o): Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 183)
  /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/runqslower/libbpf/libbpf.a: error adding symbols: file in wrong format
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

When cross-building, the target architecture differs from the host. The
bpftool used for building runqslower is executed on the host, and thus
must use a different libbpf than that used for runqslower itself.
Remove the LIBBPF_OUTPUT and LIBBPF_DESTDIR parameters, so the bpftool
build makes its own library if necessary.

In the selftests, pass the host bpftool, already a prerequisite for the
runqslower recipe, as BPFTOOL_OUTPUT. The runqslower Makefile will use
the bpftool that's already built for selftests instead of making a new
one.

I realised too late I should have cc-ed you on those patches, apologies
for not doing so. Thank you for the fix!

No worries, I usually try to catch build issues in bpf-next but missed it
this time. I'm still slowly working towards getting automated testing on
Arm targets, which will catch regressions quicker.

Are you planning to contribute it to BPF CI? Or you meant you have
your own separate system?

At the moment I'm looking at adding it to LKFT, which does regression
testing on various Arm boards (https://lkft.linaro.org/about/). The only
bit missing for that is support for cross-building tools with clang, which
I'll send shortly.

Detecting regressions is good, but preventing regressions is even
better. That's what we are doing with BPF CI. We create a Github PR
and run BPF selftests before patches are applied (see [0] for the
current list of patch sets being reviewed and thus tested). It would
be good to have more support for various architectures there. We
currently have x86-64 and s390x was added just recently. Regressions
still happen, obviously (we don't also control all the other parts of
the kernel so after tree merges things quite often are a bit unstable
and broken, but the system has caught many issues already), but it's
been a tremendous help and time saver. So consider contributing, if
you care about those architectures.
