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....

Peter
