One workaround would be to revert the perf commits in the cedartrail
branch of whatever kernel you're using e.g.:

perf: add sgidefs.h to for mips builds
perf: change --root to --prefix for python install
perf: add 'libperl not found' warning
perf: use pkg-config instead of python-config
perf tools: Add support to install perf python extension
Revert "perf: hard-code NO_LIBPERL/NO_LIBPYTHON"

Or create a new cedartrail branch e.g. cedartrail-denzil with those
commits lopped off and use that instead...

Or use master...
