When building selftests with CFLAGS set via env variable, the value of CFLAGS is propagated into bpftool Makefile (called from selftests Makefile). This makes the compilation fail as _GNU_SOURCE is defined two times - once from selftests Makefile (by including lib.mk) and once from bpftool Makefile (by calling `llvm-config --cflags`): $ CFLAGS="" make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf [...] CC /bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/bpftool/btf.o <command-line>: error: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined [-Werror] <command-line>: note: this is the location of the previous definition cc1: all warnings being treated as errors [...] Let bpftool Makefile check if _GNU_SOURCE is already defined and if so, do not let llvm-config add it again.
