Yes that was part of a different issue:

    CC util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.o
util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c: In function ‘perl_process_tracepoint’:
util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c:285:3: error: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 2 has type ‘__u64’ [-Werror=format]
   die("ug! no event found for type %" PRIu64, evsel->attr.config);
   ^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Which I fixed locally like this:

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c b/tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c
