Those messages are printed by perf's makefile. I'll add them in patch 
23/30 'perf tools: Make perf
depend on libbpf'. I think error message in this patch is not required, 
because other feature checks
are also silent when it found something is missing.

> Applied the first two patches in this series, will push them soon.

Do you want me to repost a full v6 series with those error messages 
added or only repost a v6 of 23/30
by replying the v5 patch?

Thank you.
