There is racing in Makefile. I see following output:

  ...
  CC       /xx/xx/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/util/callchain.o
  CC       /xx/xx/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/util/values.o
  CC       /xx/xx/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/util/debug.o
make[3]: *** No rule to make target 
`/xx/xx/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/util/syscalltbl.o'.  Stop.
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  CC       /xx/xx/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/util/machine.o
  CC       /xx/xx/perf/1.0-r8/perf-1.0/util/map.o
  ...

The error disappeareafter doing 'make archheaders' before 'make all'.

Thank you.
