# the (optional) BPF feature requires bpftool, libbpf, clang and llvm-strip to
# be available during build time.
# Only libbpf should be a runtime dependency.
# Note: llvmPackages is explicitly taken from buildPackages instead of relying
# on splicing. Splicing will evaluate the adjacent (pkgsHostTarget) llvmPackages
# which is sometimes problematic: llvmPackages.clang looks at targetPackages.stdenv.cc
# which, in the unfortunate case of pkgsCross.ghcjs, `throw`s. If we explicitly
# take buildPackages.llvmPackages, this is no problem because
# `buildPackages.targetPackages.stdenv.cc == stdenv.cc` relative to us. Working
# around this is important, because systemd is in the dependency closure of
# GHC via emscripten and jdk.
