Right sorry, I forgot you were cross-compiling. As far as I understand,
it seems that bpftool's Makefile picks up the host endianness when
building the skeleton header file and embedding the BPF program in it,
so loading it on the target host doesn't work. We would like it to build
the skeleton with the target endianness instead, but it seems that
libbpf does not support that (referring to
bpf_object__check_endianness() in tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c).

I don't know if there's a way to make libbpf work here, or plans to add
it (Andrii do you know?).

In the meantime, you could disable the use of skeletons in bpftool, by
removing "clang-bpf-co-re" from FEATURE_TESTS from the Makefile. You
should get a functional binary, which would only miss a few features
(namely, printing the pids of programs holding references to BPF
programs, and the "bpftool prog profile" command).
