Naresh, can you try with the patch below? There was some back and forth
about a second patch in a series and this fell thru the cracks.

And also, BTW, can you please send me instructions on how to get hold of
the toolchain you use to crossbuild perf, so that I can add it to my set
of test build containers?

The $(CC) passed to arch_errno_names.sh may include a series of parameters
along with gcc itself. To avoid overwriting the following parameters of
arch_errno_names.sh and break the build like below, we just pick up the
first word of the $(CC).

find: unknown predicate `-m64/arch'
x86_64-wrs-linux-gcc: warning: '-x c' after last input file has no effect
x86_64-wrs-linux-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-m64/include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h'
x86_64-wrs-linux-gcc: fatal error: no input files
