The makefile.prog is added only, will be used in sample/bpf/Makefile

The HOSTCC is supposed to build binaries and tools running on the host
afterwards, in order to simplify build or so, like "fixdep" or else.
In case of cross compiling "fixdep" is executed on host when the rest
samples should run on target arch. In order to build binaries for
target arch with CC and tools running on host with HOSTCC, lets add
Makefile.prog for simplicity, having definition and routines similar
to ones, used in script/Makefile.host. This allows later add
cross-compilation to samples/bpf with minimum changes.

So this is really Makefile.host or Makefile.user, right?
It's cut and modified version of Makefile.host

In BPF, 'prog' can refers to user prog or bpf prog.
To avoid ambiguity, maybe Makefile.host?
Makefile.target? as target = host not always.
Makefile.user also looks ok, but doesn't contain target,
maybe "targetuser", but bpf is also target...
Initially I was thinking about Makefile.targetprog, but it looks too long.



Makefile.prog contains only stuff needed for samples/bpf, potentially
can be reused and extended for other prog sets later and now needed

What do you mean 'extended for other prog sets'? I am wondering whether
Another kind of samples...with c++ for instance.

we could just include 'scripts/Makefile.host'? How hard it is?
It's bound to HOSTCC and it's environment. It is included by default and
was used before this patchset, blocking cross complication.


only for unblocking tricky samples/bpf cross compilation.

The above comment is not needed.
will drop it.

samples/bpf/ only have C now. I am wondering whether your below scripts
can be simplified, e.g., removing cxxobjs.
I think yes, will try
