configure: check for perf_event.h version
Intel(R) Processor Trace support requires a recent linux/perf_event.h header. When GDB is built on an older system, Intel(R) Processor Trace will not be available and there is no indication in the configure and build log as to what went wrong. Check for a compatible linux/perf_event.h at configure-time. gdb/ * configure.ac: Check for PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5 in linux/perf_event.h * configure: Regenerate.
