So I needed to rename the above as it fails 'make -C tools/perf
build-test', the direct make command line to hit that:

⬢ [acme@...lbox perf-tools-next]$ rm -rf /tmp/build/$(basename $PWD)/ ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/$(basename $PWD)/  
⬢ [acme@...lbox perf-tools-next]$ alias m='rm -rf ~/libexec/perf-core/ ; make -k GEN_VMLINUX_H=1 CORESIGHT=1 O=/tmp/build/$(basename $PWD)/ -C tools/perf install-bin && perf test python && cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.output'
⬢ [acme@...lbox perf-tools-next]$ m

So for now I'm adding the patch below to get it going.

IIRC there was some discussion about ditching GEN_VMLINUX_H=1, we can
remove this hack later if/when we progress on that.
