Subject: [PATCH 22/30] perf tools: bfd.h/libbfd detection fails with recent binutils

From: Markus Trippelsdorf <markus@...ppelsdorf.de>

With recent binutils I get:

 perf % make
Makefile:668: No bfd.h/libbfd found, install binutils-dev[el]/zlib-static to gain symbol demanglin

That happens because bfd.h now contains:

I've reopened a bug in the hope that this check will be deleted:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14243

But in the meantime, the following patch fixes the problem
