The kvm selftests makefile is a bit lacking and I've noticed that tests can assert in random places if they aren't built from scratch - ensuring all changed dependencies also get recompiled. Fixing up the makefile is on my todo, but it wasn't very high on it, since 'make clean && make' is fast enough. > also I only use shallow > clones so it will also take some time pulling.
