** Description changed:
+ SRU Justification:
+
+ Impact: By dynamically linking libbfd, it is not possible to have older
+ versions of the perf tool installed (as there can only be one version of
+ this lib). Also, Debian policy actually forbids depending on a certain
+ version of the library).
+
+ Fix: Change the makefile to statically link libbfd. This is a Ubuntu
+ specific change, though. Which unlikely will make it upstream.
+
+ Testcase: Check the perf version provided though the builders (it seems
+ that building in chroots can cause builds not linking against libbfd at
+ all as HAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE gets set). The ouput of ldd should not show
+ libbfd.

Trying to install linux-tools-2.6.35-28 from maverick on a natty system
fails with:
Unpacking replacement linux-tools-2.6.35-28 ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-tools-2.6.35-28:

Errors were encountered while processing:
- linux-tools-2.6.35-28
+ linux-tools-2.6.35-28
This is because perf is dynamically linked to libbfd, and only one
version of libbfd (in the binutils package) can be installed at a time.
This makes it impossible to install linux-tools for more than one Ubuntu
release onto the system at the same time, which is a hindrance to
debugging for obvious reasons.
Please link perf statically against libbfd.
