I'm using openembedded to cross-build a full distro, not only kselftest.
I'm confident my cross-build environment is good.

The issue encountered is the same as
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git/commit/?h=next&id=dc816e5d84cbc28baf776799839a632d6002236f

Using LDFLAGS vs LDLIBS affects the ordering of the linker flags.
* with LDFLAGS
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -lrt -lpthread posix_timers.c -o posix_timers
* with LDLIBS
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc posix_timers.c -lrt -lpthread -o posix_timers
