Works fine with your patch, too!

LC_ALL=C make -C tools/perf clean 2>&1 | tee ../build_tools-perf-clean.txt

$ echo $MAKE_OPTS
HOSTCC=clang-11 HOSTCXX=clang++-11 HOSTLD=ld.lld-11 HOSTAR=llvm-ar-11

LC_ALL=C make V=1 $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/perf PYTHON=python3 install-bin
2>&1 | tee ../build_tools-perf-python3-install_bin-llvm-toolchain-11-0-0-rc1.txt

Same output as above of "perf -vv".

BTW, you find clang-11 version 11.0.0-+rc1-1 in Debian/unstable:

sudo apt-get install llvm-11 clang-11 lld-11 --no-install-recommends
-t unstable -y

Have a nice day!
