linux-tool package for mainline builds

Hello!

I used to test kernels, trying out the latest version, and switching
back and forth bitween older and the recent version. However that
contains the linux-image, linux-headers and linux-modules packages. My
question is: it would be possible to build the linux-tools and linux-
libc packages too? Does that consume too much resources? It would be
really nice to have tools like perf and bpftool for every kernel build.
Is there something which blocks the build of linux-tools like
unsatisfieable requirements?

Thanks,
Ferenc
