yeah, changing that typedef + true def to plain include <stdbool.h>
makes it progress to the next failure, which is in cross compilation
environments, such as using fedora 24 + the Android NDK to try to build
a ARM android binary.

Jiri, we need something similar to scripts/Makefile.host :-\

Calling it a day, perhaps, for now, we should just detect that it is a
corss compile env (CROSS_COMPILE is set) and exclude all this code from
the build, emitting a warning.

I left what I did at the tmp.perf/core branch of my repo at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git.
as discussed on irc we will disable it for cross builds now,
because we dont have good solution at the moment.. it's
similar case as for fixdep tool:

    3a70fcd3a4db tools build: Fix cross compile build
    ...
    We need to add support for host side tools build, meanwhile
    disabling fixdep usage for cross arch builds.

I'll make a change to disable this for crossbuild and
work on common solution later

thanks,
jirka
