You mean with all patches applied, right? I haven't got that far, first
and second patches are ok by now, I'm failing at patch 3, checking if
setting up the python stuff to honour O= is in a later patch...

make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'python/perf.so'.

I.e. the test -f follows O=, but the process to generate python/perf.so
doesn't and ends up pollutting the source tree.
