Description Ross Burton 2017-11-08 21:11:28 UTC

Now and again perf is failing to build.  It looks like these appeared with the recent kernel upgrade in master.

(http://errors.yoctoproject.org/Errors/Details/158286/ has more context)

My guess is its trying to use fixdep whilst the binary is still being linked.  Should be an easy fix but the kernel makefiles are a maze!
