Right, this does not work, I am using 0.131. As expected,
"_ELFUTILS_PREREQ" is not defined:

gcc -o builtin-probe.o -c -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu99 -Werror -O6 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k -Wshadow -Winit-self -Wpacked -Wredundant-decls -Wstack-protector -Wstrict-aliasing=3 -Wswitch-default -Wswitch-enum -Wno-system-headers -Wundef -Wvolatile-register-var -Wwrite-strings -Wbad-function-cast -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wold-style-definition -Wstrict-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement  -fstack-protector-all -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Iutil/include -Iarch/x86/include -I/usr/include/elfutils -DDWARF_SUPPORT -DNO_NEWT_SUPPORT -DNO_LIBPERL -DSHA1_HEADER='<openssl/sha.h>'  builtin-probe.c
In file included from builtin-probe.c:43:
util/probe-finder.h:47:5: error: "_ELFUTILS_PREREQ" is not defined
util/probe-finder.h:47:21: error: missing binary operator before token "("
make: *** [builtin-probe.o] Error 1

Why not create a compile test as for NO_DWARF in tools/perf/Makefile?
