No, CONFIG_JITDUMP is not disabled. I am using the default configuration.

Yes, you are right. The rest of the compilation should fail, but it doesn't.
I checked the verbose build commands. This seems to be the result of another
inconsistency.

If libcrypto is detected, the macro "HAVE_LIBCRYPTO_SUPPORT" will be
defined, but in perf/util/genelf.c, "HAVE_LIBCRYPTO" without the "_SUPPORT"
prefix is checked. This causes urandom always be used to create build id
rather than MD5 and SHA1, no matter what the detection result is.

In perf/Makefile.config, from line 776
```
ifndef NO_LIBCRYPTO
ifneq ($(feature-libcrypto), 1)
msg := $(warning No libcrypto.h found, disables jitted code injection,
please install openssl-devel or libssl-dev);
NO_LIBCRYPTO := 1
else <-- if libcrypto feature detected
CFLAGS += -DHAVE_LIBCRYPTO_SUPPORT <-- define this
EXTLIBS += -lcrypto
$(call detected,CONFIG_CRYPTO)
endif
endif
```

In perf/util/genelf.c, from line 33
```
#ifdef HAVE_LIBCRYPTO <-- but check this, it's always false

#define BUILD_ID_MD5
#undef BUILD_ID_SHA /* does not seem to work well when linked with Java */
#undef BUILD_ID_URANDOM /* different uuid for each run */

#ifdef BUILD_ID_SHA
#include <openssl/sha.h>
#endif

#ifdef BUILD_ID_MD5
#include <openssl/md5.h>
#endif
#endif <-- this block will be skipped
```

Maybe we should fix this, to really make use of libcrypto if it is available?
