+Subject: [PATCH] CMakeList.txt: Don't download libbpf source when system
+ library is used
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/commit/?id=3d20210d84f61ee2189927e2d9de9ce3e5a0a9c5]
+
+The build system always download the libbpf submodule, regardless if
+we're using the embedded or the system version.
+Download the libbpf source only if we're using the embedded one.
