Gotcha, I missed the compat table. So below is a full patch, signed off
and everything. It also adds the select HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for sparc32,
but it's only tested on sparc64.

It's already much better, I can just type make and it'll work. Still
builds 64-bit, but at least it only requires zlib and elf which I
already got fixed.

    sparc: add basic support for 'perf'
    
    This wires up the perf_counter_open() syscall so that basic
    software support for perf is working.
