This has the side effect of starting a sub-make in that output directory
and trying to build the kernel i.e. I'm looking at the code around
"ifneq ($(KBUILD_OUTPUT),)":

$ make O=/tmp/pbuild tools/perf
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  GEN     /tmp/pbuild/Makefile
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/conf
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
***
*** Configuration file ".config" not found!
***
*** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or
*** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig").
***
make[3]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2
    SUBDIR perf/

but then descends into tools/perf/

...

I haven't looked at the branch where KBUILD_OUTPUT is not empty yet,
maybe there we could do something...

Right, so this could probably reuse the quiet_cmd_* machinery from the
toplevel Makefile now...
