Problem on building oprofile

Hello Team,



Good Day.



Could you please clarify the following problem am facing when building
oprofile.



Am using VM ( 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20
UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux )

Cross compiler crosstools-arm-gcc-5.3-linux-4.1-glibc-2.22-binutils-2.25 to
build oprofile 0.9.9 ,which failed with the following Error.(same for
oprofile_1.2.0)



*"checking for bfd_fdopenr in -lbfd... no*

*configure: error: bfd library not found*

*make: *** [conditional_build] Error 1"*



In the same machine,if i compile with
crosstools-arm-gcc-4.6-linux-3.4-uclibc-0.9.32-binutils-2.21-NPTL, oprofile
is being built successfully.



In both compilation, linking the already compiled static library files
built for their respective host names.



for linux_3.4



./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux \

                --prefix=/home/xxxx/lib/oprofile \


--with-kernel=/home/xxx/kernel/linux-3.4rt/
\

                LDFLAGS="-static -L/home/xxx/gpl/libs/popt-1.16/.libs
-L/home/xxx/gpl/apps/oprofile/binutils-2.29/libiberty
-L/home/xxx/gpl/apps/oprofile/binutils-2.29/bfd/.libs
-L/home/xxx/gpl/libs/zlib-1.2.7"; \



for linux 4.1



configure --host=arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi \

                --prefix=/home/xxxx/lib/oprofile \

                LDFLAGS="-static -L/home/xxx/gpl/libs/popt-1.16/.libs
-L/home/xxx/gpl/apps/oprofile/binutils-2.29/libiberty
-L/home/xxx/gpl/apps/oprofile/binutils-2.29/bfd/.libs
-L/home/xxx/gpl/libs/zlib-1.2.7"; \




*Why oprofile is not being build for glibc?*



I have tried to bypass the configure script by removing the check for if
test "x$ac_cv_lib_bfd_bfd_fdopenr" = x""yes; then” and hard coded to
continue the compilation.

It stopped with the following errors.
