Yes, my glibc is old so that "perf" can't be built. I'm using ubuntu 8.04.
Thanks a lot.
What is your glibc version?
%m appears to be supported since 2.7
I'm using ubuntu 8.04, and glibc version seems to be 2.7.

But if possible we would like perf to be buildable on most
boxes. May be should we use %a instead there.
I think so. We couldn't assume that all users use the latest glibc.

odd gcc versions will whine because of the confusion with the %a for
floating point things but that can be worked around with (float *) casts (sigh).
Well, since we also have strict aliasing checks, we'll actually need:
scanf("%a", (float *)(void *)str);
We do that in util/trace-event-parse.c
