Description

When building according to the INSTALL.md for Debian, the build process fails. Attempts to reproduce crashed the Pi completely (it reboots), with no log entries found in the system log.

All of the dependencies were available from the Raspbian repos apart from netperf which I needed to download from the Debian repos [here](http://ftp.mx.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/netperf/netperf_2.6.0-2.1_armhf.deb).

The exact build command was:
`debuild -b -uc -us`

The only other additional configuration on the PI was to increase the available swap to 2048MB because the build process requires a lot more than 1024MB of RAM to run.

Build log attached:
[bcc_0.9.0-1_armhf.build.zip](https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/files/3137068/bcc_0.9.0-1_armhf.build.zip)

Research direction

Start with INSTALL.md and reproduce the reported `debuild -b -uc -us` build on Raspbian with the listed dependencies and swap configuration. Compare the attached bcc_0.9.0-1_armhf.build.zip output with available system logs; done means identifying and documenting the cause of the Pi reboot or establishing a reproducible build failure and its required fix.
