Running with -v:

llvm compiling command : /usr/lib64/ccache/clang -D__KERNEL__ -D__NR_CPUS__=8 -DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x51310 -g -I/home/acme/lib/perf/include/bpf -nostdinc -I./arch/x86/include -I./arch/x86/include/generated -I./include -I./arch/x86/include/uapi -I./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I./include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/compiler-version.h -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h -Wno-unused-value -Wno-pointer-sign -working-directory /lib/modules/5.19.16-200.fc36.x86_64/build -c /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c -target bpf -g -O2 -o -
/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c:42:10: fatal error: 'bpf/bpf_helpers.h' file not found

There is still that -I/home/acme/lib/perf/include/bpf, I'll remove it
from the include path and try to replace it with the libbpf path...
