perf_3.4 do_compile error

["Lewis, Nick" <nick.lewis@usa.g4s.com>]

The problem is experienced for bitbake fsl-image-test with MACHINE?="imx6qsabrelite"

The host system is Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. It also has ubuntu arm cross tools which I mention having read that some host system includes get used during perf arm cross

Ok I will try adding meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel/perf/files/define-attribute-const.patch and meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel/perf/perf_3.4.bbappend with the content from Chunrong Guo and see if this resolves it

I see the same compile problem with perf. Decided to silently await that someone fixes it

I am experiencing an error during do_compile of perf_3.4

util/include/linux/compiler.h:8:0: error: "__attribute_const__" redefined

There appears to be a patch available to resolve this problem at https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2012-October/012625.html but it does not seem to have been applied to meta-fsl-arm. Can someone explain to me a possible reason why I am seeing this problem (when I assume others are not). Should I apply the patch or may there be a different cause of the problem
