[PATCH] perf unwind: Fix compile error for static cross build

From: He Kuang
Date: Wed Jun 15 2016 - 07:04:31 EST


Build failure for static cross-compiling on aarch64, with
libunwind-x86 provided.

$ file ./libunwind_for_x86_on_aarch64/lib/libunwind-x86.so.8.0.1

libunwind-x86.so.8.0.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64,
version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped

$ make LDFLAGS=-static LIBUNWIND_DIR=./libunwind_for_x86_on_aarch64
ARCH=aarch64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu-

This is because the remote libunwind library detected are not appended
to EXTLIBS variable, which will be included between 'start-group' and
'end-group' when linking.

The existing variable LIBUNWIND_LIBS is assigned to libs for local
unwind, this patch introduces a new variable EXTLIBS_LIBUNWIND for
storing remote libunwind libraries instead.
