perf: append endianness argument to ld when building for MIPS

2016-02-27T17:59:34+00:00

We need to pass an argument to ld for setting the endianness when building it for MIPS architecture, otherwise the default one will always be used (which is big endian) and the compilation for little endian will always fail showing an error like this one: LD foo.o mips-linux-gnu-ld: foo.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian Signed-off-by: Vicente Olivert Riera Reviewed-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

perf: remove tests from target

2016-01-16T13:04:57+00:00

The perf tool installed test files in output/target/usr/libexec/perf-core/tests/ which amounted to about 30+K. Since they are not needed for normal perf operation, remove them. Signed-off-by: Thomas De Schampheleire Reviewed-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
