Sorry for late response.

Yes, I am on x86 machine, and want to build for x86_64,
I didn't mention CROSS_COMPILE option in my last reply is because no
matter what 'CROSS_COMPILE' is, the issue can be reproduced when 
ARCH=X86_64.

The full command I used to build perf, is somewhat near to
make -C tools perf V=2 ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-linux-gnc-g 
CC=i686-pc-linux-gnc-gcc

Thanks,
Jiada
