Could this also be accessible via 'make tools' in the toplevel 
Makefile?

I'd love to be able to type:

  make -j tools perf install

But ... your current patches are an improvement as well, this 
list alone:

is already pretty useful.

Btw., please fix the perf line to say:

s/performance measurements tool/performance measurement and analysis tool

Thanks,
