This message:

  Makefile:153: The path 'python-config' is not executable.

Appears on every perf build that does not have a sufficient python 
environment installed. It's really just an internal detail of python 
configuration pass and users should not see it - and it's pretty 
meaningless to them in any case because the message is not very 
helpful. (So it's not executable. Why does that matter? What can the 
user do about it?)

Remove the warning, the missing python feature warning is sufficient:

  config/Makefile:566: No python-config tool was found
  config/Makefile:566: Python support will not be built

although even that one isn't very helpful to users: so no Python 
support will be built, what can the user do to fix that? Most other 
such warnings give package install suggestions.
