Hi, folks

Hi,

It seems Oprofile package depends on no using external tool chain.

it refers to this :
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot/24247

Is there any special reason of this, because I am trying to enable
Oprofile in buildroot while using external tool chain.

Oprofile needs GNU libiberty and libbfd libraries which are provided
by binutils.

Any guide is welcome, Thanks.

If you want to test, i've made a patch (not very clean) and it's work
with an external toolchain.
The patch will not work with Crosstool-ng.
