When building selftests/bpf with EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-static the follwoing error happens: LINK /ws/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/bpftool/bootstrap/bpftool /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/15/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.a(libcrypto-lib-dso_dlfcn.o): in function `dlfcn_globallookup': [...] /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/15/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.a(libcrypto-lib-c_zlib.o): in function `zlib_oneshot_expand_block': (.text+0xc64): undefined reference to `uncompress' /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/15/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.a(libcrypto-lib-c_zlib.o): in function `zlib_oneshot_compress_block': (.text+0xce4): undefined reference to `compress' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [Makefile:252: /ws/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/bpftool/bootstrap/bpftool] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:327: /ws/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/sbin/bpftool] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
