#1375370 — Bug 116131: tools/perf and O= fails to build

Trying to do an out-of-tree build using either absolute or relative 
paths for O= fails when trying to build tools/perf.

More details in ""Directory does not exist" when doing tools 
perf_install out-of-tree build"

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116131

git blame shows commits c883122a and bf35182f are responsible for the 
path calculation code.

Create directory manually.
acme@ pointed me out to some commit where it's done on purpose.

It's trying to use *the wrong* directory path entirely.

It looks to be caused by the sub-make calls that pass O=$(OUTPUT) 
because OUTPUT has been set to $(O)+subdir.

Then, in the sub-make tools/scripts/Makefile.include is called *again* 
and does the same $(O)+subdir resulting in basedir+subdir+subdir.

Didn't remember if my case was the same, but as workaround I can
propose you to build in a dedicated worktree.

% git worktree add ../perf-test my_current_branch
% cd ../perf-test
% make (no O= provided) bla-bla-bla
