another idea (related to my two previous comments for this patch set),
maybe we can teach bpftool's Makefile to reuse LIBBPF_OUTPUT as
LIBBPF_BOOTSTRAP_OUTPUT, if there is no CROSS_COMPILE? Then we can
keep iterators/Makefile, samples/bpf/Makefile and runqslower/Makefile
simpler and ignorant of CROSS_COMPILE, but still get the benefit of
not rebuilding libbpf unnecessarily in non-cross-compile mode?
