[ Upstream commit 21e9ba5373fc2cec608fd68301a1dbfd14df3172 ]
Ubuntu mainline builds for ppc64le are failing with the below error (*):

resolve_btfids needs to be build as a host binary and it needs libbpf.
However, libbpf Makefile hardcodes an include path utilizing $(ARCH).
This results in mixing of cross-architecture headers resulting in a
build failure.
The specific header include path doesn't seem necessary for a libbpf
build. Hence, remove the same.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
