[PATCH] perf tools: allow cross compiling of perf tools

[Jamie Iles]

For embedded systems we need to cross compile applications on
the build machine. Use the CROSS_COMPILE variable like the kernel
itself.

Additionally, we can't use uname to determine whether we should
build for 64 bit. Use the -dumpmachine flag of GCC to determine
the target arch.
