cbpfc is a classic BPF (cBPF) to extended BPF (eBPF) compiler. It can
compile cBPF to eBPF, or to C, and the generated code should be accepted
by the kernel verifier.
.
cbpfc/clang (https://godoc.org/github.com/cloudflare/cbpfc/clang) is a
simple clang wrapper for compiling C to eBPF.

This is a dependency for pwru which is in RFP and I plan to complete packaging
shortly. pwru is an eBPF-based Linux kernel networking debugger.
