Hmm.. sorry for that. I did the work on the master branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

BPFOBJ is $(OUTPUT)/libbpf/libbpf.a which is needed at link time. The
prepare step is one we have elsewhere and it creates things like the
header files necessary to compile the C code, so we need it earlier is
the answer.

I was trying to follow the convention elsewhere in the tree of having
a prepare target that does things like get the necessary header files
ready. Having prepare is useful because if an additional dependency is
added, then it just needs to be added to prepare. It could be tedious
to list all the dependencies for every C file, although Makefile.build
handles most of that. It isn't clear to me why $(BPFOBJ) is a
dependency of $(BINARY_IN) as it is already a dependency of $(BINARY).

Thanks,
Ian
