So, after applying this I tried:

  $ rm -f ~/share/doc/perf-tip/tips.txt

  To make it fallback and:

  $ perf report --stdio | tail -3
  #
  # (Tip: get more memory! ;-p)
  #
  $ 

Doesn't work, looking at what it is trying to find:

  # perf trace --no-inherit -e access perf report --stdio

Also you're not just fallbacking, you did this other unrelated change, no?

-     const char *help = perf_tip(TIPDIR);
+     const char *help = perf_tip(system_path(TIPDIR));
