dummy-tools is used to maintain configuration files outside of build
the environment. It is not easy to have all tools with all bells and
whistles for all architectures on one machine. That is you should be
able to enable DEBUG_INFO_BTF without pahole, and then build the config
on a build host that has a compiler and pohole for the target
architecture.

Thanks
