[PATCH 1/2] libbpf: add fPIC option for static library

From: Xin Liu
Date: Sat Sep 24 2022 - 06:13:32 EST


Some programs depned on libbpf.a(eg:bpftool). If libbpf.a miss -fPIC,
this will cause a similar error at compile time:

/usr/bin/ld: .../libbpf.a(libbpf-in.o): relocation
R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 against symbol `stderr@@GLIBC_2.17' which
may bind externally can not be used when making a sharedobject;
recompile with -fPIC

Use -fPIC for static library compilation to solve this problem.
