If AUXTRACE is disabled, then it has no chance to build cs-etm code;
this is decided by util/Build:

ifdef CONFIG_LIBOPENCSD
perf-$(CONFIG_AUXTRACE) += cs-etm.o
perf-$(CONFIG_AUXTRACE) += cs-etm-decoder/
endif

So we could safely remove the redundant definition for
COMPAT_NEED_REALLOCARRAY in CORESIGHT chunk.

Thanks,
