uClibc is not only for noMMU boards, I just built an uclibc toolchain for arm 
targetting realview and run-tested this with qemu. This was the only patch 
required to cross-compile perf for me. I also tested this with eglibc.

By the way, perf top reports no even being generated for realview under qemu, 
is that normal?
