Thanks, this works. However...

I think we should drop __aarch64__ and __powerpc__ here since this
builds fine on ppc without these hunks.

Nit... 'for existence'.

And, I think we should drop this hunk, but include the patch I sent.
That ensures that the proper headers from the kernel source tree are
included, so there won't be a need to explicitly define __NR_bpf for
each architecture.
