The oprofile build was broken on powerpc since version 0.9.8.
This was detected in several autobuilds, like
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/6f6c02d18495907d50fcdfc6003ac20d493c55fe/
Thomas Petazzoni had some fixes pending in his own tree, and this patch is
partially based on this work (credits to him). Here is an overview:
- I took over (and fixed) the oprofile.mk changes, except for the powerpc-
specific part. For powerpc, there is a new dependency to libpfm4.
- I reimported those Yocto patches that were specific to the ppc build
issues, but left out the other ones. Those can be added in separate
commits.
