kbuild: remove libelf checks from top Makefile
I do not see a good reason why only the libelf development package must be so carefully checked. Kbuild generally does not check host tools or libraries. For example, x86_64 defconfig fails to build with no libssl development package installed. scripts/extract-cert.c:21:10: fatal error: openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory 21 | #include <openssl/bio.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To solve the build error, you need to install libssl-dev or openssl-devel package, depending on your distribution. 'apt-file search', 'dnf provides', etc. is your frined to find a proper package to install. This commit removes all the libelf checks from the top Makefile. If libelf is missing, objtool will fail to build in a similar pattern: .../linux/tools/objtool/include/objtool/elf.h:10:10: fatal error: gelf.h: No such file or directory 10 | #include <gelf.h> You need to install libelf-dev, libelf-devel, or elfutils-libelf-devel to proceed. Another remarkable change is, CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION (without CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC) previously continued to build with a warning, but now it will treat missing libelf as an error. This is just a one-time installation, so it should not hurt to break a build and make a user install the package. BTW, the traditional way to handle such checks is autotool, but according to [1], I do not expect the kernel build would have similar scripting like './configure' does.
