I think you saw the following messages:

This happens when a header file, elf.h, on "your host machine" does not have
definitions of EM_AARCH64 nor R_AARCH64_ABS64 because "recordmcount" is a binary
utility on host(x86), not target. It is very likely for most distros.
(I mentioned this in the cover letter, but the description might not be clear.)

Possible solutions are:
1) Define both macros directly in scripts/recordmcount.c
2) Use perl version of recordmcount

Currently I take 1), but it is a workaround.
2) should work with my current patch, too. But you need to remove HAVE_C_RECORDCOUNT
from arm64/Kconfig.

Which one do you prefer? I will include a fix for 1) in the next revision, anyway.

Thanks,
