In this case you should define PERF_ELF_C_READ_MMAP as ELF_C_READ_MMAP
when using elftutils:
#ifndef ELF_C_READ_MMAP
# define PERF_ELF_C_READ_MMAP ELF_C_READ
#else
# define PERF_ELF_C_READ_MMAP ELF_C_READ_MMAP
#endif

and change all places to use PERF_ELF_C_READ_MMAP


I think the comment is wrong. I downloaded the latest version of
libelf, i.e. 0.8.12 at http://www.mr511.de/software/english.html, and
there's no support to ELF_C_READ_MMAP. It's a elfutils' feature only.
