hum, I built the same way like you 'make PYTHON=python3'
[root@krava perf]# ldd ./perf | grep python
        libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => /lib64/libpython3.6m.so.1.0 (0x00007f4ca7cc4000)

and get 'Ok result'

[root@krava perf]# ./perf test attr
16: Setup struct perf_event_attr                          : Ok
48: Synthesize attr update                                : Ok


[root@krava perf]# python3 --version
Python 3.6.8
[root@krava perf]# rpm -qa | grep python3-devel
python3-devel-3.6.8-1.fc28.x86_64

which Fedora are you on 29? I'm on 28
