Jie,

This is a common problem that arises from mixing static and shared 
code/libraries.  At the end of your output, you will find a clue that 
this is what's going wrong:

> /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/../lib64/libbfd.a(bfd.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against

> /usr/lib/../lib64/libbfd.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

"libbfd.a" is a static library that is probably being used by the linker 
because the shared library version "libbfd.so" may not be present on 
your machine.   Do:

$ ls /usr/lib64/libbfd*

to see what libraries are on your machine.  If there is no "libbfd.so", 
and you have root privileges, you can probably address this problem by 
making a symbolic link to "/usr/lib64/libbfd*.so" to "/usr/lib64/libbfd.so".

If this is not possible, a current workaround is to reconfigure 
PerfSuite with the flag "--disable-binutils", run "make clean", and 
"make" again.

We are actually in the process of providing a more flexible way of 
dealing with this in the next release, but for now one of these 
approaches may help you out.
