resolve_btfids needs to be build as a host binary and it needs libbpf.
However, libbpf Makefile hardcodes an include path utilizing $(ARCH).
This results in mixing of cross-architecture headers resulting in a
build failure.
The specific header include path doesn't seem necessary for a libbpf
build. Hence, remove the same.

This is a simpler fix that seems to work and I saw the proper headers
from within tools/ being included in both cross-architecture builds as
well as a native ppc64le build. I am not sure if there is a better way
to ask kbuild to build resolve_btfids/libbpf for the host architecture,
and if that will set $(ARCH) appropriately.
