yeah, if we pass the location for those headers from the perf side, it
should work.

Extra info: if libbpf-devel is installed, it "builds", well, built
before the merge, as the one available for fedora 34 is:

libbpf-devel-2:0.4.0-1.fc34.x86_64

after installing it, on the merged tree, with the above revert, I get:

Kinda expected, as its an old libbpf version, the one in fedora 34. I'll
remove it, and try to fix it on the perf side, i.e. telling where to
find bpf/bpf.h, bpf/libbpf.h.
