It worked w/o libelf, but recent change to use vmlinux for kernel

Do you know the recent change (commit id) that broke it?

Nope. I tried to find it but failed - older versions seems also have
the problem and some of them could not run perf record. Anyway it looks
like depending some external condition and broken for a while. :(

OK. I have a segfault issue when analyzing a mips file offbox and it is related to kernel symbol processing. I was not able to find past version of perf that worked - though limited by the file version checks added around v3.6.
