I don't know what dummy-tools is, so probably no. But if you don't
have pahole on the build host, you can't have DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
anyways. As in, your build will fail because it will be impossible to
generate BTF information. So you'll have to disable DEBUG_INFO_BTF if
you can't get pahole onto your build host for some reason.
