There is an issue for system like Debian because they don't have a
asm/types.h in the include path if the architecture is not defined
which is the case due to target bpf. This results in:

clang-5.0 -Wall -Iinclude -O2 \
	-D__KERNEL__ -D__ASM_SYSREG_H \
	-target bpf -S -emit-llvm vlan_filter.c -o vlan_filter.ll
In file included from vlan_filter.c:19:
In file included from include/linux/bpf.h:11:
/usr/include/linux/types.h:5:10: fatal error: 'asm/types.h' file not
found
#include <asm/types.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
Makefile:523: recipe for target 'vlan_filter.bpf' failed

To go into details, the Debian package providing the 'asm/typs.h'
include is the the headers or linux-libc-dev. But this package comes
with a flavor and thus we have a prefix: 
 linux-libc-dev:amd64: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm/types.h

"Fun" part here is that if you build a debian package of the via make
in Linux tree then the linux-libc-dev package is correct.

So I propose the following patch that fixes the issue for me:

diff --git a/ebpf/Makefile.am b/ebpf/Makefile.am
index 89a3304e9..712b05343 100644
--- a/ebpf/Makefile.am
+++ b/ebpf/Makefile.am

                -target bpf -S -emit-llvm $< -o ${@:.bpf=.ll}
 #      From LLVM-IR to BPF-bytecode in ELF-obj file

Let me know if it is ok for you.
