tools/perf/build: Fix O=/some/dir perf.o type of targets
If someone specifies a single target, mixed with O=, the following way: hubble:~/tip/tools/perf> make O=/tmp/perf util/stat.o BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build gcc -Wbad-function-cast -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k [...] The build might even fail, if a target depends on other targets: hubble:~/tip/tools/perf> make O=/tmp/perf perf.o ... perf.c: In function ‘handle_options’: perf.c:155:21: error: ‘PERF_HTML_PATH’ undeclared (first use in this function) The correct way to invoke such targets is: hubble:~/tip/tools/perf> make O=/tmp/perf /tmp/perf/perf.o BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build GEN /tmp/perf/common-cmds.h CC /tmp/perf/perf.o But that's unnecessary typing and it's also easy to mistakenly build into the source directory. To fix this remove the generic suffix rules and add redirection to $(OUTPUT) for the most popular .o targets.
