I was testing out 3.8-rc1 when I ran into the same problem resolved
by this patch when building with gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat
4.1.2-51)

Were you given a reason why this shouldn't be needed?

It looks like the build error was introduced by (e09df47 "perf/x86:
Update/fix generic events on P6 PMU") which is in v3.7 as well.

Thanks,
Shaun
