There is some magic / hack at top level:
# Networking tests want the net/lib target, include it automatically
ifneq ($(filter net drivers/net drivers/net/hw,$(TARGETS)),)
ifeq ($(filter net/lib,$(TARGETS)),)
INSTALL_DEP_TARGETS := net/lib
endif
endif

All BPF files are suffixed with .bpf.c and we turn that into .bpf.o
So they have an .o at the end, I think the global gitignore ignores
those?
