Hm, given this seems to break the build and is not an essential feature,
can't we use the feature detection from tooling infra which you invoke
anyway to compile out bpf_object__read_kernel_config() internals and return
an error there? Build could warn perf-style what won't be available for
the user in that case.

Also, does libbpf.pc.template need updating wrt zlib?
