Subject: [PATCH] bpftool: Fix dependencies for static build
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 13:12:55 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128211255.376933-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)

When building selftests/bpf with EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-static the follwoing
error happens:

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

This is caused by wrong order of dependencies in the Makefile. Fix it.
