Well, I just tried it, and the only thing that gets rebuilt are the CHK
environment tests that try to figure out what can be built into perf,
i.e. perl, python, libaudit, etc.

Its something that annoys me as well, but not so much as to make me
figure out how to make those be done only if some source file changed.

But then, if you remove, say, libelf from your system so that you get a
perf tool that uses just /proc/kallsyms, it wouldn't detect it...

Perhaps in that case we should say: want a new build with a different
environment? Do a 'make clean' first.

But if I do it as a normal user and then try installing as root... it
behaves like you described, duh :-\

Because of this:

    * new build flags or prefix

Will check...
