[PATCH bpf-next v2 8/8] selftests/bpf: Avoid static LLVM linking for cross builds

[Leo Yan]

The BPF selftests prefer static LLVM linking, which works for native
builds but can break cross builds. Its --link-static output may include
host-only libraries that are unavailable for the cross compilation,
causing link failures.

Avoid static LLVM linking for cross builds and use shared LLVM libraries
instead. Native builds keep the existing behavior.
