Yeah, it was:

  tools/perf/util/trace-event.h
    /usr/include/traceevent/event_parse.h # This got removed from util/trace-event.h in 378ef0f5d9d7
      /usr/include/regex.h
        /usr/include/sys/types.h
	  typedef __ssize_t ssize_t;

So sys/types.h was _always_ missing in tools/perf/util/trace-event.h,
that got it by luck.

I'm adding these details and the Fixes tag pointed to that 378ef0f5d9d7
commit.

For the curious:

Using an old tool I wrote around graphviz :-)
