perf build: Fix static compilation error when libdw is not installed
[ Upstream commit 43f6564f18bf5b27e1675ef6f4baf68e786396b2 ]
If libdw is not installed in build environment, the output of
'pkg-config --modversion libdw' is empty, causing LIBDW_VERSION_2 to be
empty and the shell test will have the following error:
/bin/sh: 1: test: -lt: unexpected operator
Before:
$ pkg-config --modversion libdw
Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libdw' found
$ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
BUILD: Doing 'make -j20' parallel build
<SNIP>
Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libdw' found
/bin/sh: 1: test: -lt: unexpected operator
After:
1. libdw is not installed:
$ pkg-config --modversion libdw
Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libdw' found
$ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
BUILD: Doing 'make -j20' parallel build
<SNIP>
Package libdw was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libdw.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libdw' found
Makefile.config:473: No libdw DWARF unwind found, Please install elfutils-devel/libdw-dev >= 0.158 and/or set LIBDW_DIR
2. libdw version is lower than 0.177
$ pkg-config --modversion libdw
0.176
$ make LDFLAGS=-static -j16
BUILD: Doing 'make -j20' parallel build

3. libdw version is higher than 0.177
$ pkg-config --modversion libdw
