Which header does pwrite() belong to on that system - what does
'map pwrite' say? It ought to be unistd.h, which is directly
included in util/trace-event-info.c.

My guess is that it might be related to:

tools/perf/Makefile:ALL_CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

Which introduces pwrite64() and defines pwrite() to them.

Does the patch below help? It's only a workaround really as
pwrite() ought to exist ... Also, i have only tested this on
64-bit.

Thanks,

Ingo
