This is a tricky part, with another recent patch touching it to make it
work on opensuse, where a linker script is not present to ask for extra
libs.

IIRC Andi's change made the if-else block to be irrelevant, if IIRC from
reading Namhyung and Jiri Olsa comments, so, what were the tests you
performed? I.e. which distros did you test your change on?

For reference, this is the change from Andi to make it work on some
opensuse release:

I processed the two other patches, thanks,
