If you follow DPDK link you gave me ([0]), you'll see that they ended up doing

#ifndef typeof
#define typeof __typeof__
#endif

It's way more localized. Let's do that.

But also I tried to build libbpf-bootstrap with -std=c17 and
immediately ran into issue with asm, so we need to do the same with
asm -> __asm__. Can you please update your patch and fix both issues?
