Since libdw version 0.177, elfutils has merged libebl.a into libdw (see
the commit "libebl: Don't install libebl.a, libebl.h and remove backends
from spec." in the elfutils repository).
As a result, libebl.a does not exist on Debian Bullseye and newer
releases, causing static perf builds to fail on these distributions.
This commit checks the libdw version and only links libebl.a if it
detects that the libdw version is older than 0.177.
