Hi Wang, Yogong,

While reviewing the BTF patches for pahole, I updated llvm/clang
to HEAD and then building perf with clang embedded I noticed this, will
investigate, posting here to document the regression, maybe this is
something you came across in other scenario:

$ make LIBCLANGLLVM=1 -C tools/perf/
<SNIP>
