We need to handle the same case for perf building, its makefile linux/tools/perf/Makefile.perf also uses bpftool to generate vmlinux.h, see: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/Makefile.perf#n1067 Please consider to use a separate patch to add the same change in Makefile.perf?
