Hmm, I didn't realize perf required 'bash' to build.  I always build
core-image-sato with tools-profile or the sdk image, and haven't seen
this.

Which image are you building?  I'm guessing core-image-minimal?

I think if perf doesn't build without bash, it should be considered a
bug - core-image-minimal should be able to use perf.
