Hello.
I compiled kernel 3.19.8 on Debian 8 (amd64) then installed it to
enable more BPF options. With libelfg0-dev (0.8.13-5 amd64) and
pkg-config (0.28-1 amd64). When I compiled libbpf from github, I got
some errors. Here are some system informations:

My future goal is to run a simple BPF CO-RE program on linux kernel
3.19.8. So is it possible to install libbpf on kernel 3.19.8?
Furthermore, is it possible to run BPF CO-RE programs on kernel
3.19.8?
Sincerely,
Poony.
