[PATCH v2] perf build: Warn for BPF skeletons if endian mismatches

[Ian Rogers]

Done as a warning as I'm not fully confident of the test's robustness
of comparing the macro definition of __BYTE_ORDER__.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx>

v2. Is a rebase following patch 1 being merged.
