So the original problem seems to be this:

[acme@felicio linux]$ cat /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
feature-libelf(1) feature-libelf-getphdrnum(1) feature-libelf-mmap(1) feature-bpf(1)

This is the content at the end of a build, i.e. the FEATURE-DUMP for
tools/lib/ebpf/ usage of the feature detection system, since
tools/perf/ uses the same file and selects a different set of
features.

I think that ebpf should use a separate directory, inside $(OUTPUT),
this way we would have $(OUTPUT)/FEATURE-DUMP for perf and
$(OUTPUT)/bpf/FEATURE-DUMP for ebpf.
