Can't reproduce it on my Fedora 17 box:

namhyung@sejong:perf$ make
PERF_VERSION = 3.4.rc5.67.gac001
    GEN common-cmds.h
    * new build flags or prefix
    CC perf.o
    CC builtin-annotate.o
    CC builtin-bench.o
    CC bench/sched-messaging.o
    CC bench/sched-pipe.o
[SNIP]
    CC util/trace-event-parse.o
    CC util/parse-events-flex.o
    CC util/parse-events-bison.o
    CC util/pmu-flex.o
    CC util/pmu-bison.o
[SNIP]
    CC util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o
    CC scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.o
    AR libperf.a
    LINK perf
    GEN perf-archive
    GEN python/perf.so


What are versions of tools you are using?

Thanks,
