This seems like an awful lot of code just to check for one library.
Does libbabeltrace not come with its own pkg-config file?
Or not link against its dependencies?

Comments.

Most of this patch was impenetrable to me due to the general lack of
comments.

Please phrase differently.

Hui> +      error (_("Try to open \"%s\" got error"), dirname);

Likewise.

Hui> +      if (strcmp (bt_ctf_field_name(list_d[i]), name) == 0)

Missing a space before a paren.  This happens in a few spots.

Hui> +  /* XXX: some types are not support.  */

How about an error in this case?
No new FIXME comments anyway.

Time for this to go into a header file.

These sorts of additions particularly need documentation.

I'm curious about the rationale and impact of this change.
