The perf build scripts default to prefix=$HOME, resulting in:
# perf script -l
open(/home/ukl/libexec/perf-core/scripts) failed.
Check "PERF_EXEC_PATH" env to set scripts dir.
when I run ptxdist with HOME=/home/ukl. So set prefix explicitly.

Hello,
this obviously only improves the error message to:
open(/usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts) failed
only. Actually I'd like to call tools/perf_install. However I fail to
see how I'd do that in the kernel's install stage with the right
variables set and upstream is broken here (as of 6.9) which makes
tools/perf_install fail with:
/bin/sh: 1: cd: can't cd to $BUILDDIR/tools/perf/tools/perf/
and I fail to see where this happens. So here comes only a partial fix
(which IMHO is worth applying anyhow).
Best regards
Uwe
