#1705487 — [PATCH RFC v2 2/5] samples/bpf: Enable cross compiler support

When cross compiling, bpf samples use HOSTCC, however what we really want is to
use the cross compiler to build for the cross target since that is what will
help run the BPF target code.  Detect this and also set -static as LDFLAGS
since often times we don't have control over what C library the cross target is
running and its not smart to rely on it.
