Static compilation works because the link line is slightly different (it
includes -lopencsd rather than just -lopencsd_c_api:

  ifeq ($(findstring -static,${LDFLAGS}),-static)
     OPENCSDLIBS += -lopencsd -lstdc++

I think that this is related to the issue and there have been some
recent changes around here. So yes I'll look into the fix for the non
static and $CSLIBS mode.

This should be fixed here [1]. Are you building the latest version of
Perf? Downgrading OpenCSD would work to fix this, but so would building
the latest version of Perf.

It's also possible that you are pointing to an old OpenCSD header but
new libraries. The OpenCSD version number is pulled out of
/usr/include/opencsd/ocsd_if_version.h so it's possible to get out of
sync with the .so file.
