Ok, so using the csets from the above branch, if I do:

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ; time make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf LIBBABELTRACE_DIR=/opt/libbabeltrace/ install-bin
make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
  BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
config/Makefile:423: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR

Auto-detecting system features:
...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
...                         glibc: [ on  ]
...                          gtk2: [ on  ]
...                      libaudit: [ on  ]
...                        libbfd: [ on  ]
...                        libelf: [ on  ]
...                       libnuma: [ on  ]
...                       libperl: [ on  ]
...                     libpython: [ on  ]
...                      libslang: [ on  ]
...                     libunwind: [ OFF ]
...            libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on  ]
...                          zlib: [ on  ]
...     DWARF post unwind library: libdw

And then, despite not telling anything about babeltrace being linked,
i.e. the no line above with a [ on ], we get:

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep babel
	libbabeltrace-ctf.so.1 => /opt/libbabeltrace/lib/libbabeltrace-ctf.so.1 (0x00007f5f7b758000)
	libbabeltrace.so.1 => /opt/libbabeltrace/lib/libbabeltrace.so.1 (0x00007f5f7acfb000)
[acme@ssdandy linux]$

I.e. if a libbabeltrace-devel was installed and had what is needed to build it
in, when there would be no need for the LIBBABELTRACE_DIR above and babeltrace
wouldn't be either implicitely or explicitely specified as something we want to
build against we would not show it as a feature being built in (no
libbabeltrace: [ On ]) but would do it anyway, is that really the intention?

I tested in fedora, where no system auto-detection fails, i.e. test-all passes,
and the result is the same.

Ingo, can you clarify here?
