After installing these packages, on fedora, i.e. installing what is
needed to statically link against libelf:

  elfutils-devel-static
  elfutils-libelf-devel-static
  zlib-static

Then it all works, libelf is statically linked and we also statically
link the jitdump code:

  $ make -C tools/perf LDFLAGS=-static O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
  $ grep libelf /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP 
  feature-libelf=1
  feature-libelf-getphdrnum=1
  feature-libelf-gelf_getnote=1
  feature-libelf-getshdrstrndx=1
  feature-libelf-mmap=1
  $
  
And:
