We're happy to look into this.

If building perf from source (git) it would be useful to be able to select either the lib/traceevent in the tree (probably
should be the default) or the libtraceevent installed via rpm/etc.   Obviously the later is a pre-requisite to being able
to package perf with a rpm build-requires on the libtraceevent-devel rpm.
