This is correct, but it shouldn't be needed. Arnaldo has a pull request out to Ingo that should fix the build issues on all architectures in a more generic way. See: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/15974 I'm really hoping that gets into Linus' tree ASAP or 3.7 will ship with a broken perf on non-x86. josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
