Phantomjs issue for building armhf arch

For armhf, I hit the phantomjs build failed with compiling the grafana,
and I forked the phantomjs to work around errors by refering this link [2]. After getting a successful compilation of phantomjs, just copy binary
bin/phantomjs to /usr/bin.

To fork my works:

git clone git@github.com:woodrow-shen/phantomjs.git
