/me scratches head, tried this on another kvm guest, ubuntu 13.04,
x86_64, works as expected, but stumbled in another problem:

acme@ubuntu-acme:~/git/linux$ time make -C tools/perf -f tests/make
make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
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: *** [make_pure] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'

real	0m0.254s

sys	0m0.084s
acme@ubuntu-acme:~/git/linux$

And this does work on a RHEL6 box, continue to investigate...
