Neither me, similar impressions, for the Makefiles, I really want us to move to what is used by our landlord, the kernel :-)
I also can see doing a 'make tools/menuconfig' to select what we want to build in a particular perf build, for instance, I received requests for building just 'perf record' to use it in embedded systems, collect your events, push it to another machine, where one would use a full featured perf build.
Or one without perl, if one hates that thing :-)
