Subject: [PATCH] perf: allow user to indicate path to objdump in command line
Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:32:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346754750.16299.3.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

When analyzing perf data from hosts of other architecture than one of the local
host it's useful to call objdump that is part of a toolchain for that
architecture. Instead of calling regular objdump, call one that user specified
in command line.
