When trying to build BPF selftests with additional compiler and linker flags, we're running into multiple problems. This series addresses all of them: - CFLAGS are not passed to sub-makes of bpftool and libbpf. This is a problem when compiling with PIE as libbpf.a ends up being non-PIE and cannot be linked with other binaries (patch #1). - bpftool Makefile runs `llvm-config --cflags` and appends the result to CFLAGS. The result typically contains `-D_GNU_SOURCE` which may be already set in CFLAGS. That causes a compilation error (patch #2). - Some GCC flags are not supported by Clang but there are binaries which are always built with Clang but reuse user-defined CFLAGS. When CFLAGS contain such flags, compilation fails (patch #3).
