The same problem happens when building perf on ARC.
I'm on 4.3-rc2 and that's what I see:
------------------->8-----------------
  LINK     .../linux-4.3-rc2/tools/perf/perf
.../linux-4.3-rc2/tools/perf/libperf.a(libperf-in.o): In function `parse_regs':
.../linux-4.3-rc2/tools/perf/util/parse-regs-options.c:28: undefined reference to `sample_reg_masks'
.../linux-4.3-rc2/tools/perf/util/parse-regs-options.c:45: undefined reference to `sample_reg_masks'
.../linux-4.3-rc2/tools/perf/util/parse-regs-options.c:38: undefined reference to `sample_reg_masks'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
------------------->8-----------------

Any chance for this to be discussed any further?
