Subject: perf build: Update error message for BUILD_NONDISTRO=1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e41cac8617a9b399bf013cda968c53927a9a0f91;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

perf build: Update error message for BUILD_NONDISTRO=1

It should say binutils-dev(el) instead of plain binutils package as it's
mostly installed already and can confuse people like me. :)
