You need all 3 patches. This v4 patch is a fix for previous v3 3/3 and I 
send
this patch by replying that one. I thought your email client is sorted 
by thread
so you can easily find it but it seems I was wrong...

The whole thread is:

[PATCH v3 0/3] perf build: PowerPC: Fix build breakage due to libbpf:
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1450150557-127942-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com

[PATCH v3 1/3] perf tools: Fix PowerPC native building
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1450150557-127942-2-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com

[PATCH v3 2/3] tools: Move Makefile.arch from perf/config to tools/scripts
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1450150557-127942-3-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com

[PATCH v3 3/3] perf: bpf: Fix build breakage due to libbpf
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1450150557-127942-4-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com

and [PATCH v3 3/3] breaks local building because the usage of "srctree", and
I fix it in this one.

Thanks.
