Can you run with 'gcc t.c -lbfd -lz -liberty -ldl' since this is
what the Makefile for the feature test is doing:

  $(OUTPUT)test-libbfd.bin:
        $(BUILD) -DPACKAGE='"perf"' -lbfd -lz -liberty -ldl

Seems most likely that you're missing some of the remaining libs
to have the feature test properly detect it?
