Tiggered part of your problem:

$ make

Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]

CC libbpf.o
CC bpf.o
LD libbpf-in.o
LINK libbpf.a
LINK libbpf.so
$ make clean
CLEAN libbpf
CLEAN core-gen
$ make clean

Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]

CLEAN libbpf
CLEAN core-gen

Feature check would be triggered the second time we make clean.

Will look into it.

Thank you.
