Hi,

While trying to build perf on a freshly installed Fedora 18
machine I couldn't do it if python-devel isn't installed.

The expected behaviour is for a warning to be emitted and the
build to continue.

I bisected it down to:

commit 31160d7feab786c991780d7f0ce2755a469e0e5e
"perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue"

If I revert this changeset, everything works as expected, I get:

config/Makefile:319: The path '/usr/bin/python-config' is not executable.
config/Makefile:323: No python-config tool was found
config/Makefile:323: Python support will not be built
