Cross compiling perf for omap will fail during kernel building

[Bryan Wu]

Tim,

As I am working on preparing 2.6.35 based omap4 branch, I found a
building issue in our master branch.

If I am using following cross compiling command to generate kernel
packages, it will try to cross compile perf tools. But the building
will fail due to some library missing the popular CodeSourcery 2010q1
arm toolchain.

fdr clean && export $(dpkg-architecture -aarmel) &&
CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- fdr binary-arch binary-udebs

Do we always build and packaging perf for armel? But I think it is OK
in our schroot environment, I will test it soon.

And if I just us 'fdr binary-omap' or 'fdr binary-omap4', it works
fine and we get the kernel package.

Any idea about that?

Thanks a lot.
