On a freshly installed system, after libelf-dev is installed we get:
CC /tmp/build/perf/util/probe-event.o
util/probe-event.c: In function ‘try_to_find_probe_trace_events’:
util/probe-event.c:753:46: error: unused parameter ‘target’ [-Werror=unused-parameter]

util/probe-event.c: At top level:

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

make: *** [install] Error 2
Fix it by enclosing functions only used when those libraries are installed
under the suitable preprocessor define and using __maybe_unused to a function
that is only built when DWARF support is disabled.
