Right, I had noticed that as well, so as a prep patch I'm adding the
patch below, before Ian's. Please check and provide an
Acked-by/Tested-by/Reviewed-by if possible.

commit d288f6c03038e8f14f0b53bd4ccc03f664c8c744

perf tools: Add test to check if libtracevent has TEP_FIELD_IS_RELATIVE

Some distros have older versions of libtraceevent where
TEP_FIELD_IS_RELATIVE and its associated semantics are not present, so
we need to test for its presence and cope when it isn't present when
building with LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1.
