Older libelf.h and glibc elf.h might not yet define the ELF compression types. Checking and defining SHF_COMPRESSED fix the build error when compiling with older toolchains. Also, the tool resolve_btfids is compiled with host toolchain. The host toolchain is more likely to be older than the cross compile toolchain.
