The above failure is indeed due to missing clang.

This is due to srctree being "." instead of the actual source tree,
when invoked as "make kselftest".
When using "make -C tools/testing/selftests", srctree is correct.

tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile has:

    $(BPFOBJ): force
            $(MAKE) -C $(BPFDIR) OUTPUT=$(OUTPUT)/

to enter the tools/lib/bpf directory to force a build of libbpf.a

Note that tools/gpio has the same issue.

There seem to be _four_ different ways to build kselftests
(Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst):

    make kselftest
    make O=/path/to/output kselftest
    make -C tools/testing/selftests
    make O=/path/to/output -C tools/testing/selftests

I'm not so fond of the latter two, as they basically run make from
somewhere inside the tree, which complicates things. I believe we don't
support this anywhere else.

Each of the four seem to have (different) issues. Especially when you
throw cross-compiling into the mix. And care about where installed
headers end up (yes, kselftest calls headers_install internally).

I'm working on fixes for some of them, but I don't know how to fix the
srctree issue.

Anyone with a suggestion?

Thanks!
