Summary:                    oprofile doesn't build because bfd library not found
Description: 
checking for bfd_openr in -lbfd... no
configure: error: bfd library not found

binutils is needed to build oprofile.
I used gcc4.2.1 toolchain.

please, find attached a patch to fix oprofile package:
- depend on BR2_PACKAGE_GCC_TARGET, we need binutils on target to build
oprofile. (see failure on the bug report)
- add OPROFILE_LIBS and OPROFILE_INCS to pass extra includes and libs to
configure.
- add --with-kernel-support configure option to use 2.6 kernel (no kernel
source tree required)
