Description:
The kernel perf tool (the userspace tool for Kernel Performance Counters) does not build on the latest kernel (2.6.33).
It fails while trying to compile symbol.c , I'm attaching both the build log and a quick fix.

Additional info:
package affected: kernel26-2.6.33

Steps to reproduce: build the kernel (e.g. from ABS), then cd to linux-2.6.33/tools/perf/ and type make.
   build.log (1.9 KiB)
   perf_fix.patch (0.9 KiB)

Please file this upstream. As we don't include this tool in our package and don't build it, we don't add patches to fix it either.

Ok, I've already filed this to the kernel bug tracker. Thanks!
