If building/using bpftool is not possible then majority of selftests won't
be exercised. I don't think such environment is suitable for any kind
of bpf development. Much so for JIT debugging.
While bpf_jit_enable=2 is nothing but the debugging tool for JIT developers.
I'd rather nuke that code instead of carrying it from kernel to kernel.
