And yes, I do run newer compilers and libraries, but the rest of the kernel builds fine with them (I make sure of that), but given that no one seems to care about perf breaking for so long, I just apply patches when they come up and don't have conflicts and see if anyone notices any difference.
Normally, no one does :)
Just for the record, we stopped building Perf on these older branches as we agreed with Guenter, for the same reason that you said before: it fails all the time with a variety of toolchains/architectures. For now, we're only building/testing Perf on latest stable (6.5) and latest stable LTS (6.1). We brought that up at the OATS call a couple of months back.
