binutils is GPLv3 so distributions cannot ship perf linked against libbfd and libiberty as the licenses are incompatible. Rather than defaulting the build to opting in to libbfd and libiberty support and opting out via NO_LIBBFD=1 and NO_DEMANGLE=1, make building against the libraries optional and enabled with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
