Do you mean that instead of:

  comet:~/tip/tools/perf> cat PERF-VERSION-FILE 
  #define PERF_VERSION "3.12.g953bfb"

we should put a plain version into it? (the 'short' form you introduced 
earlier)

And then this:

  Makefile.perf:  $(QUIET_CC)$(CC) -include $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE \

Could be replaced with:

  Makefile.perf:  $(QUIET_CC)$(CC) -D $(shell cat $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE) \

or so?

Thanks,

	Ingo
