Hi,
 
I am facing the following error while compiling oprofile-0.9.4 for arm. The logs are pasted below. Could any one help me to resolve this problem?

So, do you have libbfd(.a or .so) installed in the usual place where config
would look for it?  If you do, then perhaps the problem is you have a newer
binutils where libbfd has a dependency on libz that oprofile 0.9.4 did not
handle, which resulted in this rather unhelpful error message.  Pull the latest
oprofile cvs code for a fix.

Put oprofile-list back on cc so others can see the solution (for future reference).
