Somehow this is causing some trouble:

⬢ [acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ make -C tools/perf build-test
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf'
- tarpkg: ./tests/perf-targz-src-pkg .

Can you please try fixing it as I'm busy now (I'll be on vacation from
tomorrow till early February)? This is what I extracted:

commit c199fd785d18121ffd0ba5758e23a42ba2984e11

    perf tools: Expose quiet/verbose variables in Makefile.perf
    
    The variables to make builds silent/verbose live inside
    tools/build/Makefile.build. Move those variables to the top-level
    Makefile.perf to be generally available.
    
    Committer testing:
    
    See the SYSCALL lines, now they are consistent with the other
    operations in other lines:
