+1.

And if for some reason unilaterally defining _GNU_SOURCE in
tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk isn't an option, we should at least have
kselftest_harness.h assert instead of making a futile attempt to provide its own
definition, e.g.

diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_harness.h b/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_harness.h
