[acme@...icio linux]$ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
-rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 338 Sep 18 17:38 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
[acme@...icio linux]$ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf 
-rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 85 Sep 18 17:38 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf
[acme@...icio linux]$

Ok, patch below fixes this one, now the second run doesn't auto detects
things again, i.e. libbpf feature detection doesn't stomps on perf's,
I'll get those patches in a patchkit and send over the weekend. If you
find anything fishy with it, holler.
