So, I added it to my review branch and tested it. It is fine!

But, as the most important user of this build system is perf, I think
it is safer to ask them to review, test, and integrate it.

I Cc'ing some perf people here, but it might be worth sending a v2 with
all perf crew in Cc.

It is also worth checking which Fixes to use between:

b758a61b391f perf tools: Enable libtracefs dynamic linking
a87834d19aa2 perf build: Fix broken feature check for libtracefs due to external lib changes

To avoid breaking older perf versions.

For rtla,
