sure. trace-cmd doesn't have a build system generated Makefile. It's
hand written.
To do the install properly, one has to pass prefix/plugin_dir.
In addition, the previous command in the recipe doesn't do the right
thing anymore (you'll end with duplicated prefix /usr/usr/).

I've included NO_PYTHON since the build system is still broken for
cross-compilation in some way.
I found it acceptable because the old version available in oe doesn't
have this support anyway.

In short, I took some shortcut. The right thing to do is to revisit
upstream build system and fix it. Time that I can't afford right now.
