When clang is not linked with 'perf' we should just add a debug message
about that before doing the fallback to calling the external compiler.

I.e. just the "-95" warning below gets turned into a debug message:

  # cat sys_enter_open.c
  #include "bpf.h"

  SEC("syscalls:sys_enter_open")
  int func(void *ctx)
  {
struct {
char *ptr;
char path[256];
} filename = {
.ptr = *((char **)(ctx + 16)),
};
int len = bpf_probe_read_str(filename.path, sizeof(filename.path), filename.ptr);
if (len > 0) {
if (len == 1)
perf_event_output(ctx, &__bpf_stdout__, BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU, &filename, len + sizeof(filename.ptr));
else if (len < 256)
perf_event_output(ctx, &__bpf_stdout__, BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU, &filename, len + sizeof(filename.ptr));
        }
return 0;
  }
  # trace -e open,sys_enter_open.c
  bpf: builtin compilation failed: -95, try external compiler
