Luca Boccassi 438584bfc2 Makefile: use pkg-config to get libelf flags
libbpf uses libelf symbols internally, so it depends on it and needs to
link against it.

Upstream this was fixed by linking directory to libelf:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf.git/commit/?id=89dedaef49d36adc2bb5e7e4c38b52fa3013c7c8

For this project, intended to be used as a general library, try first
to use pkg-config instead, and only fallback to just passing -lelf.
This will be useful for cross compiling, among other cases.

This is a mirror of bpf-next linux tree
(https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next)
bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf directory plus its supporting header files.
The following files will by sync'ed with bpf-next repo:
src/ <-> bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf/
include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h
include/uapi/linux/bpf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
include/uapi/linux/btf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/btf.h
include/uapi/linux/if_link.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.h
include/uapi/linux/if_xdp.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_xdp.h
include/uapi/linux/netlink.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.h
include/tools/libc_compat.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/tools/libc_compat.h
Other header files at this repo (include/linux/*.h) are reduced versions of
their counterpart files at bpf-next/tools/include/linux/*.h to make compilation
successful.
Build
=====
libelf is an internal dependency of libbpf and thus it is required to link
against and must be installed on the system for applications to work.
pkg-config is used by default to find libelf, and the program called can be
overridden with PKG_CONFIG.
If using pkg-config at build time is not desired, it can be disabled by setting
NO_PKG_CONFIG=1 when calling make.
To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so:
cd src
make
To build only static libbpf.a library in directory
build/ and install them together with libbpf headers in a staging directory
root/:
cd src
mkdir build root
BUILD_STATIC_ONLY=y OBJDIR=build DESTDIR=root make install
To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so against a custom libelf
dependency installed in /build/root/ and install them together with libbpf
headers in a build directory /build/root/:
cd src
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/build/root/lib64/pkgconfig DESTDIR=/build/root make install
