So we need to trow away just stdout, leaving stderr to be caught by
the build tests infrastructure, so that we can see what went wrong
when the tarpkg build test fails:
$ make -C tools/perf build-test
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
- tarpkg: ./tests/perf-targz-src-pkg .
tests/make:302: recipe for target 'tarpkg' failed
make[1]: *** [tarpkg] Error 2
Makefile:102: recipe for target 'build-test' failed
make: *** [build-test] Error 2
make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
$ cat tools/perf/tarpkg
./tests/perf-targz-src-pkg .
PERF_VERSION = 4.5.g05f5ec
PERF_VERSION = 4.5.g05f5ec
In file included from bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.S:9:0:

$
So the test flow is:
1. Run: 'make -C tools/perf build-test'
2. One of its tests failed, in this case, the 'tarpkg' one
3. Look at what went wrong, by looking at the output of that test, in
tools/perf/tarpkg
Admittedly, this should be shortcircuited to showing what went wrong directly
from the 'make build-test' step, but lets first fix this tarpkg one and the
problem it spotted, which should be fixed by adding some extra file to the
tools/perf/MANIFEST so that detached tarballs continue being self contained and
build successfully.
