Good timing. I just fixed this today. Now it compiles fine on
IA64. I also started looking into using the same technique on
i386. It is very easy. It looks like opcontrol or ophelp
would need to be updated. I think the trick is to make
sure that ophelp knows the PMU mapping used by perfmon2,
i.e., knows that PERFEVTSEL0 is PMC0 for instance.
