> As this has been opt-in for nearly 2 years, commit dd317df07207 ("perf build: Make binutil libraries opt > in"), remove the code to simplify the code base. I don't think this is a reason to remove it by itself. We've been enabling it in Gentoo and happily using it. Anyway, my main concern (though I have a few) is that annotate support will be lacking. A few months ago, objdump was the only way to get source line support [0]. Is that still the case? [0] https://lore.kernel.org/all/Z_S_JB_L_t9viciV@xxxxxxxxxx/
