Much better!

Just a few nits, perhaps we should add what is the subsystem that is
asking for feature detection, so those two lines starting with
'Auto-detecting' would become:

Auto-detecting system features for tools/perf/:

<SNIP>

Auto-detecting system features for tools/lib/bpf/:

<SNIP>

------------------------------------

Also we need to reuse the tests, i.e. we're testing 'libelf'
twice, once for tools/perf, then for tools/lib/bpf, Jiri?

------------------------------------

Anyway, continuing...
