If the fix is as simple as this patch, and will not cause any other
problems, may it be sent to -stable as well?


To make perf build on Arch is also possible to install elfutils from
AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5300) and I've made a
request some months ago to switch to this library instead of using
libelf but got no answers.

I think it's Arch's fault to continue using an unmaintained library
when there's an easy replacement, but if the "fix" is easy, why not?
