Subject: [PATCH] perf: fix Makefile check for libdward

On Ubuntu 9.10, the elfutils/libdw package is 0.141, yet it is
not sufficient to compile util/probe-finder.c as it uses a type,
namely Dwarf_CFI, which is introduced sometime after version 0.141.

This patch updates the libdwarf test in the Makefile to check
for the definition of Dwarf_CFI. If is is not there, the test
fails and dwarf support is disabled.

It is not clear to me which version introduces Dwarf_CFI,
thus I adjusted the version message to 0.142, could be more
recent.
