The sim is built when GDB & co are configured with a suitable --target (a target for
which there is a sim).  If you look at Jose's patches, they modify the configure.tgt
files of gdb/ and sim/ to recognize target triplets of the form `bpf-*-*`.  According
to this:

the triplet to use is `bpf-unknown-none` (and there's even a nice picture!).  So, try
adding `--target=bpf-unknown-none` to your configure line.
