When bpftool is built as part of a Debian package build, which itself
uses make, "bpftool version" shows:
bpftool vmake[4]: Entering directory /build/linux-5.8/tools/bpf/bpftool
5.8.8.0 make[4]: Leaving directory /build/linux-5.8
Although we pass the "--no-print-directory" option, this is overridden
by the environment variable "MAKEFLAGS=w". Clear MAKEFLAGS for the
"make kernelversion" command.
I have no explanation for the doubled ".8" in the version string, but
this seems to fix that as well.

I set env variable MAKEFLAGS=w, and build bpftool it works fine too.
Maybe I miss something or debian changed top level Makefile?
I am testing against latest bpf tree.
