I'll confirm that it builds and generates a buildable source file
as long as "u32" is understood (defined/typedef'd).

I would rather see it in tools/ as a C source file with comments as
follows:

// The following program is used to generate the constants for
// computing sched averages.

//	C program (compile with -lm)

Maybe even add
#include <stdint.h>

and
typedef uint32_t	u32;
