I am trying to cross-compile perf tool for ARM on x86 machine.

====================================================================

I have libelf.h file compiled for ARM, I tried replacing it in
/usr/include and also in ../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/include.
However, I face the same error. (I am not exactly sure about where the
compiler is looking for libelf.h)

I noticed that this issue existed from 2012... Is this not fixed?
