When building with a prefix ending with a slash, for example: $ make prefix=/usr/local/
one of the perf tests fail to compile due to BUILD_STR macro mishandling bindir_SQ string containing with two slashes: -DBINDIR="BUILD_STR(/usr/local//bin)" with the following error: CC tests/attr.o tests/attr.c: In function ‘test__attr’: tests/attr.c:168:50: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘;’ token snprintf(path_perf, PATH_MAX, "%s/perf", BINDIR); ^ tests/attr.c:176:1: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token } ^ tests/attr.c:176:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type] } ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors This patch works around the problem by "cleaning" the bindir string using make's abspath function.
