This appears to silently not build perf when uclibc is being used. Do I
have that right? I don't care for implicit changes in functionality
without any notification to the user (even then...). However, perf is
just automatically built IIRC, and not specified in the image recipe, so
there isn't a lot we can do about it without major changes.

Perhaps a simple warning in the do_compile_perf_libc-uclibc() and
do_install_perf_libc-uclibc() would be sufficient until such time as
perf has a real option to explicitly enable it.

my bash logging.bbclass hasn't been merged yet, so for now:

oe_warn "using uclibc, perf will not be (compiled|installed)"

Thanks,
