So I'll have to remove it now as my container builds test both O= and
in-place builds (make -C tools/perf), I know many people (Jiri for

I tried to fix this but run out of time today, visits arriving soon, so
I'll try to come back to this tomorrow early morning, to push what I
have in to Linus, that is blocked by this now :-\
