You're not invoking tools/perf/Makefile.perf but tools/perf/Makefile and I would say this in line 18 avoids that prefix= is passed down to Makefile.perf: # We don't want to pass along options like -j: unexport MAKEFLAGS Sources: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Options_002fRecursion.html https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/tools/perf/Makefile#n18 So the prefix parameter should have no effect at all in your case, no matter to what you set it.
