I do not think this is the right thing to do.

(As I said somewhere, I am opposed to checking pahole version in Kconfig).


Also, $(CROSS_COMPILE)pahole looks insane.

You can create a dummy pahole in your local system.

$ echo 'echo v99.99' > $HOME/bin/dummy-pahole
$ chmod +x  $HOME/bin/dummy-pahole
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=scripts/dummy-tools  PAHOLE=dummy-pahole  menuconfig
