[PATCH 4/5] perf tools: Let python use correct gcc for build_ext

From: He Kuang
Date: Wed Jun 22 2016 - 02:58:24 EST


Currently, python uses host gcc instead of cross-compile gcc in the
last step of compiling build_ext(remove '--quiet' to show verbose):

cross-gcc ...
cross-gcc ...
creating ~/out/python_ext_build/lib
gcc -pthread -shared -Wl,-z ...

This is wrong but may not cause any errors unless the features detected
by cross-compiler do not match those for host compiler, and causes the
following errors:

/usr/lib64/gcc/bin/ld: cannot find -lunwind-x86
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
cp: cannot stat â~/out/python_ext_build/lib/perf.soâ: No such file or directory
Makefile.perf:257: recipe for target '~/out/python/perf.so' failed
make[1]: *** [~/out/python/perf.so] Error 1
Makefile:68: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

This issue is also reported and anwsered on stackoverflow.
