Jiri, I think this is enough, i.e. I think we make sure, just like the
kernel, that the archheaders target in tools/perf/arch/*/Makefile is
called before doing all the other build, no?
I.e. when we get to build syscalltbl.o the syscalls_64.c file will be
built already, limited testing seems to agree with this :-)
