For future reference, that's the comment:

# perf can link against libbfd if available, but the result is
# undistributable as they are licenced under GPL v2 and v3+
# respectively.  Override detection of libbfd and insist that
# cplus_demangle() can be found in libiberty (LGPL v2.1+).

Tagging this wontfix since we can't fix that problem.
