Subject: [PATCH v1 07/12] perf tests: Silence the libbfd probe in build-test
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 12:05:48 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113150555.1163049-8-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113150555.1163049-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

build-test evaluates the libbfd probe at parse time and the compiler's
stderr isn't captured by $(shell ...), so without binutils-devel it
prints "bfd.h: No such file or directory" once per tests/make
invocation, five times per run.

Redirect the compiler's stderr; the empty result still skips the
nondistro tests as intended.

Fixes: 523471c5163659c6 ("perf build: Skip nondistro build test if libbfd is old")
