It seems that a 32-bit perf now works on a 64-bit kernel on powerpc,
so I don't have any hard objection to this patch. (For some reason,
perf top isn't getting any samples, so I'll have to chase that.)
Many distros on powerpc default to 32-bit userspace on 64-bit
machines, since that has a slight performance and size benefit for
most programs. I expect perf is better as a 64-bit binary, since it
does a lot of 64-bit arithmetic, so users of those distros on 64-bit
machines would need to do "make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-m64".
Paul.
