Ok, if I do:

acme@ubuntu-acme:~/git/linux$ make -C tools clean
<SNIP>
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
  CLEAN    libtraceevent
  CLEAN    config
make[3]: *** No rule to make target
`/home/git/linux/tools/lib/traceevent/trace-seq.c', needed by
`.trace-seq.d'.  Stop.
make[2]: ***
[/home/acme/git/linux/tools/lib/traceevent/libtraceevent.a-clean] Error
2
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** [clean] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
make: *** [perf_clean] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools'
acme@ubuntu-acme:~/git/linux$

So, if cleaning manually:

[acme@zoo linux]$ find tools -name ".*.d"
tools/lib/traceevent/.trace-seq.d
tools/lib/traceevent/.event-parse.d
tools/lib/traceevent/.parse-filter.d
tools/lib/traceevent/.kbuffer-parse.d
tools/lib/traceevent/.parse-utils.d
[acme@zoo linux]$ find tools -name ".*.d" | xargs rm
[acme@zoo linux]$ find tools -name ".*.d"
[acme@zoo linux]$

(on the NFS server, mind you)

And now trying again to clean on ubuntu (NFS client):

Works, trying again tests/make...

acme@ubuntu-acme:~/git/linux$ time make -C tools/perf -f tests/make
make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
- make_pure: cd . && make -f Makefile DESTDIR=/tmp/tmp.2uwAzyGti8



-----------------------

Take a while, even more over NFS it seems, could do with some
paralelization... ;-) :-)

Anyway, letting it run and not doing anything on that source tree in any
other machine (NFS server or clients), will see..
