So, building with:

make -C tools/perf LDFLAGS=-static O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin

I get:

[acme@...et linux]$ grep libelf /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP 
feature-libelf=0
feature-libelf-getphdrnum=0
feature-libelf-gelf_getnote=0
feature-libelf-getshdrstrndx=0
feature-libelf-mmap=0
[acme@...et linux]$

And jitdump is only linked if:

[acme@...et linux]$ grep jitdump tools/perf/*/Build
tools/perf/util/Build:libperf-$(CONFIG_LIBELF) += jitdump.o
[acme@...et linux]$ 

But:

#ifdef HAVE_JITDUMP
static int perf_event__jit_repipe_mmap(struct perf_tool *tool,
.
.
.
        ret = jit_process(inject->session, &inject->output, machine,
                          event->mmap.filename, sample->pid, &n);
.
.
.
#endif

So we need:

[acme@...et linux]$ git diff
diff --git a/tools/perf/Makefile.config b/tools/perf/Makefile.config
index 8cfc310d4358..cffdd9cf3ebf 100644
--- a/tools/perf/Makefile.config
+++ b/tools/perf/Makefile.config
@@ -366,8 +366,10 @@ ifndef NO_SDT
 endif
 
 ifdef PERF_HAVE_JITDUMP
+  ifndef NO_LIBELF
     $(call detected,CONFIG_JITDUMP)
     CFLAGS += -DHAVE_JITDUMP
+  endif
 endif
 
 ifeq ($(ARCH),powerpc)
[acme@...et linux]$ 

To get that fixed.

Please let me know if this suits your needs.

I'll now try building with elfutils static libraries to see if in that case it
all gets linked.
