RFC: toolchain for building eBPF modules within the OpenWrt build system

[Enrico Mioso]

I would prefer having both options, e.g.: build one if a preinstalled one is not found, maybe warning the user prominently somehow.
Or - failing if a preinstalled one isn't found, unless a "build your own toolchain" option isn't set.
I know it's a little bit of a stretch, but I am under the impression there will be cases where this can be desirable.
My 2 cents only.
