Point this out in the related Config.in in the perf directory.

Mute the following error by selecting BR2_PACKAGE_LIBELF:

The perf tool in your kernel cannot be built without libelf.
Either upgrade your kernel to >= 3.7, or enable the elfutils package.
make: *** [/home/andi/repo/buildroot-snowball/output/build/perf-stable-linux-ux500-3.4/.stamp_built] Error 1
