[PATCH v3] tools: perf: fix linker error when libelf config is disabled
From: Sudeep Holla
Date: Wed Jan 04 2017 - 12:56:08 EST
When libelf is disabled in the configuration, we get the following
linker error:
LINK libperf-jvmti.so
ld: cannot find -lelf
Makefile.perf:515: recipe for target 'libperf-jvmti.so' failed
Jiri pointed out that both librt and libelf are not really required. So
this patch fixes the linker error by getting rid of unwanted libraries
in the linker stage.
Fixes: 209045adc2bb ("perf tools: add JVMTI agent library")
