It is not about compiling on what system, it is about which toolchain 
is used (for cross-compile), and the initial failure comes from
the buildroot [1] embedded system autobuild tests...

Personally I do not care about these toolchains (but the buildroot
people think it is worth to do automatic build tests with them) and
can live with the disabling of the bpf support....
