Just for the record, we stopped building Perf on these older branches
as we agreed with Guenter, for the same reason that you said before:
it fails all the time with a variety of toolchains/architectures. For
now, we're only building/testing Perf on latest stable (6.5) and
latest stable LTS (6.1). We brought that up at the OATS call a couple
of months back.
