When directories are used as prerequisites in Makefiles, they can cause a lot of unnecessary rebuilds, because a directory is considered changed whenever a file in this directory is added, removed or modified. If the only thing a target is interested in is the existence of the directory it depends on, which is the case for selftests/bpf, this directory should be specified as an order-only prerequisite: it would still be created in case it does not exist, but it would not trigger a rebuild of a target in case it's considered changed.
