Hi,
I have no way to maintain my own version of perftest package.
If a pull request can be created on github based on the latest version 
of perftest I can ask maintainers to build the new version with the fix.

What is the missing dependency for rdma-core, is there a bug for this?

Regards,
Vladimir
