Subject: [PATCH 1/6] tools lib traceevent: Detect build environment changes

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@....com>

Cross compiling perf requires setting ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE
variables, but libtraceevent couldn't detect the changes so it ends up
believing no recompiling is required. Thus the linker failed like:

     LINK perf
 ../lib/traceevent//libtraceevent.a: member ../lib/traceevent//libtraceevent.a(event-parse.o) in archive is not an object
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 make: *** [perf] Error 1

This patch fixes this by adding TRACEEVENT-CFLAGS file like
PERF-CFLAGS to track those changes.
