Good news: it works.

To enable llvm and clang dynamic libraries, we need to build llvm and 
clang with
cmake option -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON. Then apply a trivial patch to perf:

    LIBS += -Wl,--start-group $(LIBCLANG) -Wl,--end-group
  endif

(replace '.a' to '.so')

Resuling perf executable:

$ ls -s -h ~/perf
26M /home/wn/perf

$ size ~/perf
    text       data        bss        dec        hex    filename
4274339     755032    23959984    28989355    1ba57ab /home/wn/perf

$ strip ~/perf
$ ls -s -h
4.9M /home/wn/perf

$ ldd ~/perf | grep 'LLVM\|clang'
     libclangBasic.so => /tmp/oxygen_root/usr/lib64/libclangBasic.so 
(0x00007f24da49f000)
     libclangCodeGen.so => /tmp/oxygen_root/usr/lib64/libclangCodeGen.so 
(0x00007f24d9f72000)
     libclangFrontend.so => 
/tmp/oxygen_root/usr/lib64/libclangFrontend.so (0x00007f24d9c64000)
     libclangTooling.so => /tmp/oxygen_root/usr/lib64/libclangTooling.so 
(0x00007f24d9a01000)
     libLLVMBPFCodeGen.so => 
/tmp/oxygen_root/usr/lib64/libLLVMBPFCodeGen.so (0x00007f24d97e2000)
     libLLVMBPFDesc.so => /tmp/oxygen_root/usr/lib64/libLLVMBPFDesc.so 
(0x00007f24d95da000)
     ....

As I said, if distro provides dynamic libraries then everything would be 
fine.

If you are okay with the above conclusion, in next version I'll use 
'-lclangBasic'
style linking options so it works for both dynamic and static 
LLVM/clang, then let's
wait for distro's action.

Thank you.

So I'm trying to get back to this, and built -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON HEAD
llvm/clang, applied your patch to switch from .a to .so and got a smaller perf
binary that is dinamically linked to tons of libraries from LLVM and clang, see
below, how to proceed?

I think we should default to linking it dinamically, which is what I'll have in
a test branch and add some machinery to autodetect and use the right approach,
can you do that while I try to go on processing the next patches?

Its a huge bump in the number of libraries in such a build:

[acme@jouet linux]$ ldd /tmp/perf  | wc -l
174
[acme@jouet linux]$ ldd /tmp/perf | egrep -i llvm\|clang | wc -l
145
[acme@jouet linux]$ 

But one expected by those explicitely enabling support for eBPF, right? Those
needing a llvm/clang toolchain installed can opt for using the external
toolchain, that we keep in place, those with a need for those libraries can use
this approach and then those just wanting perf+eBPF, say on a smartphone, like
you said, can get everything in a static build.
