Perf: user land tools compiled failed on 3.5.0-rc7

Hello,

I failed to compile perf tools on 3.5.0-rc7 with bison && flex pre-installed.

The error seems something like this,

libperf.a(pmu.o): In function `pmu_format_parse':
/usr/src/linux/tools/perf/util/pmu.c:47: undefined reference to `perf_pmu_in'
libperf.a(pmu-bison.o): In function `perf_pmu_parse':
/usr/src/linux/tools/perf/util/pmu-bison.c:1287: undefined reference to `perf_pmu_lex'

For detail, please check the following,

Hmm.. I can't reproduce it. Those symbols should be in pmu-flex.c:

 $ grep 'perf_pmu_in$' -Inr .
 ./util/pmu-flex.c:15:#define yyin perf_pmu_in

 $ grep 'perf_pmu_lex ' -Inr .
 ./util/pmu-flex.h:292:extern int perf_pmu_lex (void);
 ./util/pmu-flex.h:294:#define YY_DECL int perf_pmu_lex (void)
 ./util/pmu-flex.c:650:extern int perf_pmu_lex (void);
 ./util/pmu-flex.c:652:#define YY_DECL int perf_pmu_lex (void)
 ./util/pmu-flex.c:946:} /* end of perf_pmu_lex */
 ./util/pmu-bison.c:86:extern int perf_pmu_lex (void);
