+Subject: [PATCH] bpftool: Fix bootstrapping during a cross compilation
+
+This change adjusts the Makefile to use "HOSTAR" as the archive tool
+to keep the sanity of the build process for the bootstrap part in
+check. For the rationale, please continue reading.
+
+When cross compiling bpftool with buildroot, it leads to an invocation
+like:
+
+$ AR="/path/to/buildroot/host/bin/arc-linux-gcc-ar" \
+  CC="/path/to/buildroot/host/bin/arc-linux-gcc"    \
+  ...
+  make
+
+Which in return fails while building the bootstrap section:
+
+----------------------------------8<----------------------------------
+
+  make: Entering directory '/src/bpftool-v6.7.0/src'
+  ...                        libbfd: [ on  ]
+  ...        disassembler-four-args: [ on  ]
+  ...                          zlib: [ on  ]
+  ...                        libcap: [ OFF ]
+  ...               clang-bpf-co-re: [ on  ] <-- triggers bootstrap
+
+  .
+  .
+  .
+
+    LINK     /src/bpftool-v6.7.0/src/bootstrap/bpftool
+  /usr/bin/ld: /src/bpftool-v6.7.0/src/bootstrap/libbpf/libbpf.a:
+               error adding symbols: archive has no index; run ranlib
+               to add one
+  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
+  make: *** [Makefile:211: /src/bpftool-v6.7.0/src/bootstrap/bpftool]
+            Error 1
+  make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
+    AR       /src/bpftool-v6.7.0/src/libbpf/libbpf.a
+    make[1]: Leaving directory '/src/bpftool-v6.7.0/libbpf/src'
+    make: Leaving directory '/src/bpftool-v6.7.0/src'
+
+---------------------------------->8----------------------------------
+
+This occurs because setting "AR" confuses the build process for the
+bootstrap section and it calls "arc-linux-gcc-ar" to create and index
+"libbpf.a" instead of the host "ar".

+
+This is an adapted version, else it won't be possible to cross compile
+bpftool if "clang-bpf-co-re" feature is enabled.
