right, libperf.a should be complete.. but how about we use libperf.a
as source for libapi.a and include it directly in there.. and remove
libapi.a from perf 

we will have complete libperf.a without new -ext.a file and perf
compiles properly.. should be also ok for future perf dynamic linking
with libperf.so

I did just quick build test.. I might have missed something
