At the head of 'make' output I don't see
Auto-detecting system features: ...
So I guess your /tmp/build/perf is not an empty directory? Therefore there might be some garbage in that directory. At least a FEATURE-DUMP should be there, and that file should match perf's second pass feature check, and in perf's checks libelf and libpf are both passed, or libbpf won't be built.

But when building libbpf, these two feature checks failed. Also, the result is same to the garbage left in /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf, or feature check result matrix should be output.
So there are something blocks lib/bpf's feature checks but not affect perf itselves feature checks.

Could you please provid the content of following files:
/tmp/build/perf/feature/test-libelf*make.output /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-bpf.make.output
and those outputs in your perf source tree after you do this 'perf clean'? If feature check fail these files should tell us the reason.

Please have a look at my patch "tools lib bpf: Don't feature check when cleaning".

So the one blocks libbpf's feature checking is removed. It inside perf source directory, but affects build dir...
Still no clue.
Jiri, can you find something?
Thank you.
