Subject: [PATCH] perf build: Allow nested externs to enable BUILD_BUG() usage

Currently the BUILD_BUG() macro is expanded to the following:

   do {
           extern void __compiletime_assert_0(void)
                   __attribute__((error("BUILD_BUG failed")));
           if (!(!(1)))
                   __compiletime_assert_0();
   } while (0);

If used in a function body this would obviously produce build errors
with -Wnested-externs and -Werror.

To enable BUILD_BUG() usage in tools/arch/x86/lib/insn.c which perf
includes in intel-pt-decoder, build perf without -Wnested-externs.
