As stated in README.rst, in order to resolve errors with linker errors, 'LDLIBS=-static' should be used. Most problems will be solved by this option, but in the case of urandom_read, this won't fix the problem. So the Makefile is currently implemented to strip the 'static' option when compiling the urandom_read. However, stripping this static option isn't configured properly on $(LDLIBS) correctly, which is now causing errors on static compilation. # LDLIBS=-static ./vmtest.sh ld.lld: error: attempted static link of dynamic object liburandom_read.so clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make: *** [Makefile:190: /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/urandom_read] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... This commit fixes this problem by configuring the strip with $(LDLIBS). Fixes: 68084a136420 ("selftests/bpf: Fix building bpf selftests statically") Signed-off-by: Daniel T.
