Thanks Jiri ! A few comments inline.

(So far I did not echo the "make clean" commands, I printed only the
ones used to build bpftool. But that's your call.)

I do not believe you need to "make clean" here, this should have been
done by the previous test in that dir earlier in the script (cd
tools/bpf/bpftool; make_and_clean)

(Or "if ldd bpftool | grep -q libbpf.so ; then")

Please also set $(ERROR) here.

(Also, stick to echo rather than mixing with printf? I can't remember
why I used one over echo in the check() function, that was probably not
on purpose.)

We probably want to clean features too? We tried to check that libbpf
was available, but with a very specific $(LIBBPF_DIR), which was
temporary and no longer exist. So better to reset features to a clean state?
