Eh. Yes,

It only happens for me with "g". With "perf record -af sleep 10" it worked.

It's up-to-date Fedora 14 on x86-32.

And there's no build output at all, except for the trivial:

  [torvalds@...pc perf]$ make
  PERF_VERSION = 2.6.38.rc2.62.gec30f3.dirty
      GEN common-cmds.h
      * new build flags or prefix
      CC perf.o
      CC builtin-annotate.o
      CC builtin-bench.o
      ...

so I have everything installed.
