I try to compile perf for Android with Android NDK 
base on the page
http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/contrib/linux
/tools/perf/Documentation/android.txt
I met issues of CROSS_COMPILE and SYSROOT,
 it does not work and responds errors: 

Android NDK: NDK_TOOLCHAIN is defined to the unsupported value
android-ndk-r9/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6
/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-
   
Android NDK: Please use one of the following values:
arm-linux-androideabi-4.6 arm-linux-androideabi-4.8
arm-linux-androideabi-clang3.2 arm-linux-androideabi-clang3.3
mipsel-linux-android-4.6 mipsel-linux-android-4.8
mipsel-linux-android-clang3.2 mipsel-linux-android-clang3.3 x86-4.6 x86-4.8
x86-clang3.2 x86-clang3.3    
build/core/init.mk:555: *** Android NDK: Aborting    .  Stop.

I can't fix this error because I used "arm-linux-androideabi-4.6" value and
it also appear in Android NDK/Toolchains directory

If you have any suggestion about that, please reply on this post or send
email to me. I appreciate your help. Thanks
