perf on parisc64

It built, after removing -fstack-protector-all that is not available for that target and suppressing the libelf-dev tests.

Transferred a perf.data file created in a i386 machine and… it fails. Endianness issues, I guess. Will fully investigate this in the next days.

    Ah! Yeah that reminds me we need to add an endianness field in the headers, so
    that we can cross-handle the bitmap of features correctly.

    I’ll send a patchlet for that soon.

      An endianness field, yes, so that we can record at native endianness, i.e. at full speed, and only when decoding perform conversion.

      I’ll take a look at exactly how is it that ELF handles this, trying to use some solution that was validated in some other domain already.
