I don't think GCC-BPF is able to compile selftests properly just yet.
So I guess the problem is that you do have some version of gcc-bpf in
the system and selftest's Makefile tries to build gcc variants of
test_progs? That's bad (I don't have GCC-BPF locally, and everyone
else apparently as well).

So for now just `make BPF_GCC=` ? CC'ing Jose, we should probably
agree on some criteria of "GCC-BPF is really capable of building
selftests" and adjust Makefile to only attempt GCC BPF build in that
case.
