With clang compiler:

   make -j60 -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
Some linker flags are not used/effective for some binaries and
we have warnings like:
   warning: -lelf: 'linker' input unused [-Wunused-command-line-argument]

We also have warnings like:
   .../selftests/bpf/prog_tests/ns_current_pid_tgid.c:74:57: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this
         if (CHECK(waitpid(cpid, &wstatus, 0) == -1, "waitpid", strerror(errno)))
                                                                ^
                                                                "%s",
   .../selftests/bpf/test_progs.h:129:35: note: expanded from macro 'CHECK'
         _CHECK(condition, tag, duration, format)
                                          ^
   .../selftests/bpf/test_progs.h:108:21: note: expanded from macro '_CHECK'
                 fprintf(stdout, ##format);                              \
                                   ^
Let us add proper compilation flags to silence the above two kinds of warnings.

Are both compliler flags available for GCC (I simply don't know or
have checked)?

Good question. gcc/g++ (8.4.1) does not complain these two flags
and I assume they are okay as well. But further digging shows
gcc only support -W[no-]format-security
  https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html
and does not support -Wno-unused-command-line-argument.
gcc/g++ simply just ignored it.

I will make -Wno-unused-command-line-argument for clang
only in v2. Thanks for catching this.
