Libbpf's Makefile relies on Linux tools infrastructure's feature detection framework, but libbpf's needs are very modest: it detects the presence of libelf and libz, both of which are mandatory. So it doesn't benefit much from the framework, but pays significant costs in terms of maintainability and debugging experience, when something goes wrong. The other feature detector, testing for the presernce of minimal BPF API in system headers is long obsolete as well, providing no value. So stop using feature detection and just assume the presence of libelf and libz during build time. Worst case, user will get a clear and actionable linker error, e.g.: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lelf On the other hand, we completely bypass recurring issues various users reported over time with false negatives of feature detection (libelf or libz not being detected, while they are actually present in the system).
