setup.py was building most perf sources causing setup.py to mimic the Makefile logic as well as flex/bison code to be stubbed out, due to complexity building. By using libraries fewer functions are stubbed out, the build is faster and the Makefile logic is reused which should simplify updating. The libraries are passed through LDFLAGS to avoid complexity in python. Force the -fPIC flag for libbpf.a to ensure it is suitable for linking into the perf python module.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
