I admit, I'm not sure how to use this on its own. It did compile fine for me
though for arm64.

Is it just a library that is required to build bpf apps or there's more to it?

I think bpftrace dependency on it is not right by the way. BCC has its own copy
of libbpf and bpftrace already depends on that.

If it needs linux-header 5.9, shouldn't it depend on that then?

Thanks
