So the rule has been: What are the kernel requirements for the
toolchain? tools/perf/ should build with that.

Looking at the kernel's README, that is...

-------------

COMPILING the kernel:

- Make sure you have at least gcc 3.2 available.
For more information, refer to Documentation/Changes.

--------------

The oldest toolchain I personally test from time to time is:

[acme@rhel5 ~]$ rpm -q gcc make binutils
gcc-4.1.2-55.el5
make-3.81-3.el5
binutils-2.17.50.0.6-26.el5
[acme@rhel5 ~]$

- Arnaldo
