On Ubuntu 9.10, the elfutils/libdw package is 0.141, yet it is not sufficient to compile util/probe-finder.c as it uses a type, namely Dwarf_CFI, which is introduced sometime after version 0.141.
This patch updates the libdwarf test in the Makefile to check for the definition of Dwarf_CFI. If is is not there, the test fails and dwarf support is disabled. It is not clear to me which version introduces Dwarf_CFI, thus I adjusted the version message to 0.142, could be more recent.
