samples: bpf: print a warning about headers_install
It seems like periodically someone posts patches to "fix" header includes. The issue is that samples expect the include path to have the uAPI headers (from usr/) first, and then tools/ headers, so that locally installed uAPI headers take precedence. This means that if users didn't run headers_install they will see all sort of strange compilation errors, e.g.: HOSTCC samples/bpf/test_lru_dist samples/bpf/test_lru_dist.c:39:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct list_head’ struct list_head { ^~~~~~~~~ In file included from samples/bpf/test_lru_dist.c:9:0: ../tools/include/linux/types.h:69:8: note: originally defined here struct list_head { ^~~~~~~~~ Try to detect this situation, and print a helpful warning. v2: just use HOSTCC (Jiong).
