well, we removed it, because the latest version if libbabeltrace pkg
perf needs wasn't present in common distros.. so for most users that
would print 'OFF' as a status.. that might have changed now, dont know

anyway, for libbabeltrace and other in FEATURE_TESTS_EXTRA it's not possible
to print their status easily at the moment, because the status isn't known at
the time tools/build/Makefile.feature is included in config/Makefile

I'll check if we can reorg the code a little to get the full status at the end
