It worked for me last week with OL6.

I created a standalone perf rpm with 4.1-rc6; it builds just fine with 
_prefix (rpm variable) set to /usr:

%build
# prepare directories
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

cd perf-%{kversion}

%global perf_make \
  make -s -C tools/perf V=1 WERROR=0 NO_LIBUNWIND=1 
HAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE=1 NO_GTK2=1 NO_STRLCPY=1 NO_BIONIC=1 prefix=%{_prefix}

%{perf_make} DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT all

###
### install
###

%install
[ "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" != "/" ] && rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
cd perf-%{kversion}
%{perf_make} DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT lib=%{_lib} install man
