Feature detection from the Makefile.feature for libbfd (with the different variants of the probe) may fail on some systems where the bfd.h and dis-asm.h headers expect the PACKAGE or PACKAGE_VERSION macros to be defined [0]. In the kernel tree, feature detection addresses it by defining the PACKAGE macro when invoking the compiler [1]. Add a similar definition for the mirror repository. Note that this issue has remained undetected for a while. This is because the bfd.h included in some distributions (Debian/Ubuntu, for example) does not contain the inclusion guard [2].
