I just found this breaks python, because perf_can_sample_identifier
is defined in util/record.c

	19: 'import perf' in python                               :
	--- start ---
	test child forked, pid 1808205
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
	ImportError: python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_can_sample_identifier
	test child finished with -1
	---- end ----
	'import perf' in python: FAILED!
