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.

Thanks! Can you please make your comment more explicit and mention the file tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk and/or the use case addressed (building bpftool from selftests), given that you match on the exact string "-D_GNU_SOURCE="? Your check won't skip adding the duplicate definition if someone passes "-D_GNU_SOURCE", without the "=", by calling the Makefile from another path; that's fine, but I don't want users to read the Makefile and expect it to remove the second definition in such a case.


+  ifneq ($(filter -D_GNU_SOURCE=,$(CFLAGS)),)
+    CFLAGS += $(filter-out -D_GNU_SOURCE,$(shell $(LLVM_CONFIG) --cflags))
+  else
+    CFLAGS += $(shell $(LLVM_CONFIG) --cflags)
+  endif

Looks good otherwise:
