I added this for case when we build perf with O= . Further in runtime perf will
try to find tips.txt file
in Documentation directory. Documentation has to be in the same location as
perf executable. If we
build perf without O= option this copying is not needed as Documentation is
already in the same
location as perf.

Yes, it should be. /proc/self/exe is a absolute symlink to running executable

you could call perf_exe for this ^^^

seems too small for feature detection, but please add it to
Makefile.config and make new variable under .config-detected
