This is the comment that points out the issue.

perf is licensed under GPL v2 only and libbfd is a GNU tool that is licensed GPL v3 and higher.

Really wish the Linux kernel would start mandating new patches to be GPL v2 and higher and get buy in from the largest contributors. A decade later new code would like replace the smaller contributors code and we could consider the software GPL v3 compatible.
