That can be a possibility, but the interesting thing is to try to run
'make -C tools/perf build-test' regularly to catch these builds without
some of the components, I bet this one:

make_no_libelf      := NO_LIBELF=1

As my container builds did, as that is one of the things built there.

One other suggestion would be to add some warning when the required
components to build the data profiling feature are not present.
