When I did a compile of perf using a relative path for the output
directory, the build failed when it tried to compile libtraceevent. This
is because it continues to use the same relative path when the new
working directory is in a different path.

    SUBDIR ../lib/traceevent/
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: ../../../nobackup/perf/: No such file or directory
Makefile:74: *** output directory "../../../nobackup/perf/" does not exist.  
Stop.
make: *** [../../../nobackup/perf///libtraceevent.a] Error 2


Make the path used an absolute path when building perf with O=.
