By default, sys.C is built using /usr/bin/gcc. You can change the
compiler and the compiler options by editing the appropriate properties
file in build/hosts in your Jikes RVM directory.

It seems the linking order is currently wrong when building with
perfevent. "${perfevent.lib}" needs to come after "${rvm.src}" instead
of before it. You can try to use

<arg line="${c++.args} ${rvm.common.args} ${gcspy.lib.dir} ${rvm.src}
${perfevent.lib} ${c++.librt} -lpthread ${c++.rdynamic} -g"/>

instead of using "-Wl,--no-as-needed".
