bpftool: Do not FORCE-build libbpf
In bpftool's Makefile, libbpf has a FORCE dependency, to make sure we
rebuild it in case its source files changed. Let's instead make the
rebuild depend on the source files directly, through a call to the
"$(wildcard ...)" function. This avoids descending into libbpf's
directory if there is nothing to update.
Do the same for the bootstrap libbpf version.
This results in a slightly faster operation and less verbose output when
running make a second time in bpftool's directory.
Before:
Auto-detecting system features:
... libbfd: [ on ]
... disassembler-four-args: [ on ]
... zlib: [ on ]
... libcap: [ on ]
... clang-bpf-co-re: [ on ]
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/dev/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/dev/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'install_headers'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/dev/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/dev/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
After:
Auto-detecting system features:
... libbfd: [ on ]
... disassembler-four-args: [ on ]
... zlib: [ on ]
... libcap: [ on ]
... clang-bpf-co-re: [ on ]
Other ways to clean up the output could be to pass the "-s" option, or
to redirect the output to >/dev/null, when calling make recursively to
descend into libbpf's directory. However, this would suppress some
useful output if something goes wrong during the build. A better
alternative would be to pass "--no-print-directory" to the recursive
make, but that would still leave us with some noise for
"install_headers". Skipping the descent into libbpf's directory if no
source file has changed works best, and seems the most logical option
overall.
