libcap isn't tested in the tools/build/feature/test-all.c fast path
feature detection process, so don't set it as available if test-all
manages to build.
There are other users of this feature detection mechanism, and they
explicitely ask for libcap to be tested, so are not affected by this
patch, for instance, with this patch in place:
$ make -C tools/bpf/bpftool/ clean
<SNIP>
make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/bpf/bpftool'
⬢ [acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ make -C tools/bpf/bpftool/
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/bpf/bpftool'
Auto-detecting system features:
... clang-bpf-co-re: [ on ]
... llvm: [ on ]
... libcap: [ on ]
... libbfd: [ on ]
... libelf-zstd: [ on ]
<SNIP>
LINK bpftool
make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/bpf/bpftool'
$
$ sudo rpm -e libcap-devel
$ make -C tools/bpf/bpftool/
<SNIP>
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/bpf/bpftool'
Auto-detecting system features:
... clang-bpf-co-re: [ on ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
