From: Ben Hutchings Date: Sun, 21 Feb 2016 15:33:15 +0000 Subject: tools/build: Remove bpf() run-time check at build time It is not correct to test that a syscall works on the build system's kernel. We might be building on an earlier kernel version or with security restrictions that block bpf(). Also fix the test for whether __NR_bpf is defined.
