Neither me, similar impressions, for the Makefiles, I really want us to
move to what is used by our landlord, the kernel :-)

I also can see doing a 'make tools/menuconfig' to select what we want to
build in a particular perf build, for instance, I received requests for
building just 'perf record' to use it in embedded systems, collect your
events, push it to another machine, where one would use a full featured
perf build.

Or one without perl, if one hates that thing :-)
