we compile with 'make BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1' so we should fail here
with the standard 'please install..' message we use

hum, actualy we use $(OUTPUT) and if it's not defined we build
directly in the tree, this should follow the same

there's no need for the variable, is there?
also why do we want to hide it?
