Description
Today the main libbpf implementation is inherently Linux-only as discussed in issue #84 so each runtime implementation has to do their own implementation of the common libbpf.h and bpf.h header files.
This issue tracks the ability to use a cross-platform libbpf implementation, whether as part of generic-ebpf or some separate repo.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #84 and reviewing the current common libbpf.h and bpf.h header responsibilities across runtime implementations. Determine whether the cross-platform implementation belongs in generic-ebpf or a separate repository; done means runtimes can use one shared implementation beyond Linux.
