Subject: tools/perf compile error: ignoring return value of 'read', declared
 with attribute warn_unused_result

    CC builtin-stat.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-stat.c: In function 'run_perf_stat':
builtin-stat.c:243: error: ignoring return value of 'read', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
builtin-stat.c:256: error: ignoring return value of 'read', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
make: *** [builtin-stat.o] Error 1

Apparently my version of gcc and/or glibc do not agree with -Werror.  Would the fix be as simple as:

    if *read(go_pipe[0], &buf, 1) < 0) {
            perror("Failed to read go_pipe.");
            exit(1);
    }

?
