Thanks.  I committed your build patch, and then mine on top of it, to the perf-events branch.  I did make minor change to my addendum patch.  I changed the last sentence of the help text for the --with-kernel option to read:

"Because of OProfile's use of syscalls, be sure that the
kernel headers used match the architecture of the intended target system."

instead of saying that the kernel headers used should match the version of the target system, which was too harsh.
