This include is guarded by:
#if defined(HAVE_LIBBFD_SUPPORT) && defined(HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT)

and from the header path in the failure you are getting an installed
version of libbfd from /usr/include. Using libbfd (GPLv3) with perf
(GPLv2) is becoming an under tested combination due to:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#v2v3Compatibility
Add the make flag NO_LIBBFD=1 to test without libbfd, which will most
accurately match what distributions build.

Testing on my own machine with libbfd version 2.38 didn't show any failures.

Thanks,
Ian
