I did testing for building perf with this patch, this patch is fragile
and easily introduce the building warning:

  <command-line>: error: "ARM_PRE_START_SIZE" redefined [-Werror]
  <command-line>: note: this is the location of the previous definition

To dismiss this error, I need to change the macro define as below:

  +    CFLAGS += -DARM_PRE_START_SIZE=$(ARM_PRE_START_SIZE)

So I sent patch v3 to address this issue and please directly reivew
patch v3.  Sorry for spamming.

Thanks,
Leo Yan
