Hi,

I am wondering if some missing package might be causing this issue.  I found someone has been able to build oprofile on ubuntu 12.04, but it isn't clear which version he was building:

https://geekwentfreak-raviteja.rhcloud.com/blog/2012/10/08/installing-and-using-oprofiler-in-ubuntu-12-04/

It looks like oprofile-0.9.9 and oprofile-1.0.0 has been successfully build on newer versions of ubuntu:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oprofile/1.0.0-0ubuntu3/+build/6459971
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/oprofile


It looks like binutils removed the PARAMS for binutils-2.25:

http://fossies.org/diffs/binutils/2.24_vs_2.25/include/libiberty.h-diff.html

Is it possible to get a newer version of binutils on the machine or edit libiberty.h remove the PARAMS fro the declartions of expandargv and writeargv?
