When building bpf selftest with make -j, I'm randomly getting build failures
such as this one:
In file included from progs/bpf_flow.c:19:
[...]/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/bpf/bpf_helpers.h:11:10: fatal error: 'bpf_helper_defs.h' file not found
#include "bpf_helper_defs.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The file that fails the build varies between runs but it's always in the
progs/ subdir.
The reason is a missing make dependency on libbpf for the .o files in
progs/. There was a dependency before commit 3ac2e20fba but that commit
removed it to prevent unneeded rebuilds. However, that only works if libbpf
has been built already; the 'wildcard' prerequisite does not trigger when
there's no bpf_helper_defs.h generated yet.
Keep the libbpf as an order-only prerequisite to satisfy both goals. It is
always built before the progs/ objects but it does not trigger unnecessary
rebuilds by itself.
Fixes: 3ac2e20fba ("selftests/bpf: BPF object files should depend only on libbpf headers")
