Adding $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE $(OUTPUT)common-cmds.h there, to have it look:

+# we compile into subdirectories. if the target directory is not the source directory, they might not exists. So
+# we depend the various files onto their directories.
+$(LIB_OBJS) $(BUILTIN_OBJS) $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE $(OUTPUT)common-cmds.h: $(sort $(dir $(LIB_OBJS) $(BUILTIN_OBJS)))
+# In the second step, we make a rule to actually create these directories
+$(sort $(dir $(LIB_OBJS) $(BUILTIN_OBJS))):
+       mkdir -p $@ 2>/dev/null
+

As it was failing when I did:

rm -rf ~/build/perf
make -C tools/perf O=~/build/perf

With that it retains the existing functionality,

Thanks,
