Yes, I have:

$ alias m='rm -rf ~/libexec/perf-core/ ; make -k CORESIGHT=1 O=/tmp/build/$(basename $PWD) -C tools/perf install-bin && perf test python'
 
And use the 'm' alias to build perf.

I also run 'perf test' before sending patches upstream, in addition to:

make -C tools/perf build-test

I encourage everybody to do the same.

Additionally I run a long list of container tests on dozens of distros,
but those should really be running on some CI system :-\
