[PATCH v1 10/14] perf build: Install libsymbol locally when building

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Tue Nov 08 2022 - 02:37:25 EST


The perf build currently has a '-Itools/lib' on the CC command
line. This causes issues as the libapi, libsubcmd, libtraceevent,
libbpf and libsymbol headers are all found via this path, making it
impossible to override include behavior. Change the libsymbol build
mirroring the libbpf, libsubcmd, libapi, libperf and libtraceevent
build, so that it is installed in a directory along with its
headers. A later change will modify the include behavior. Don't build
kallsyms.o as part of util as this will lead to duplicate definitions.
