it had effect.. prefix is passed to build framework throught .config-detected
file as prefix_SQ variable, which is then referenced in perf Build makefiles

the issue is that having 'unexport MAKEFLAGS' in perf's Makefile causes
'prefix' variable to change from 'command line' origin to environment

so the tools/build/Makefile.build can set prefix if called from perf's
'Makefile', but will not override it if called from perf's Makefile.perf,
because prefix will have 'command line' origin and we would need to use
'override'
