Yes that is the idea. The per-feature flags are designed for that
purpose. For now I have the fix for libunwind only, cf. here below.
All features should use the flags. There are complex cases though (e.g
perl flags in config/Makefile andconfig/feature-checks)...

My plan is to submit the ix for libunwind first and if ok care about
the other features. Is that OK?

diff --git a/tools/perf/config/Makefile b/tools/perf/config/Makefile
index d24b4bd..65bc78e 100644
--- a/tools/perf/config/Makefile
+++ b/tools/perf/config/Makefile
@@ -56,10 +56,14 @@ else
   endif
   LIBUNWIND_LDFLAGS += $(LIBUNWIND_LIBS)

+  # Set per-feature check compilation flags
   FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-libunwind = $(LIBUNWIND_CFLAGS)
   FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-libunwind = $(LIBUNWIND_LDFLAGS)
   FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-libunwind-debug-frame = $(LIBUNWIND_CFLAGS)
   FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-libunwind-debug-frame = $(LIBUNWIND_LDFLAGS)
+  #  and the flags for the test-all case
+  FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-all += $(LIBUNWIND_CFLAGS)
+  FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-all += $(LIBUNWIND_LDFLAGS)
 endif
