These were moved into test_progs, they are not independent binaries
anymore, you probably just had old leftovers lying in your
selftests/bpf directory. Let's not re-add them.

We can't do that. See fa633a0f8919 ("libbpf: Fix build on read-only
filesystems") for why and why we have this problem with
bpf_helper_defs.h in the first place.

do we need this? bpftool's makefile will build its own libbpf.a
independently. We can probably optimize that, but see above, we need
to ensure that we build only within selftest/bpf dirs.

This "read-only outside of selftests/bpf" requirement actually made me
realize that we probably need to specify OUTPUT pointing somewhere
inside selftests/bpf/tools subdir to build entire bpftool within
selftests/bpf directory and not touch anything outside. Do you mind
fixing that while you are at it?
