Sorry. I though I have tested my patch by building perf, but didn't
realize perf/tests/make is not used in normal building. Doing build-test
takes too long, so I always forget it. Also, in my environment it can fail:

   LD 
/opt/wangnan/yocto_build/tmp-eglibc/work/generic_x86_64-oe-linux/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/perf-in.o
   LINK 
/opt/wangnan/yocto_build/tmp-eglibc/work/generic_x86_64-oe-linux/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/perf
   test: test -x ./perf
make[2]: *** [make_no_newt] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [build-test] Error 2

since I'm in a yocto building environment. I'll look into this problem 
and give a patch on it.

Thank you.
