looks like the RHEL6 gcc/cpp treats this as an error which
is not maskable by '-w' option

anyway I checked the git log history and I'm not sure
why we event have this define, it was added by Ingo
and carried by ever since:

  65f3e56e0c81 perf tools: Remove auto-generated bison/flex files

probably because of the fail I see if I remove it from pmu-bison.o build:

  util/pmu-bison.c:613:6: error: "YYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL" is not defined
