As per a discussion with Muhammad Usama Anjum [1], the following is how
one is supposed to build selftests:
make headers && make -C tools/testing/selftests/mm
Change the selftest build system's lib.mk to fail out with a helpful
message if that prerequisite "make headers" has not been done yet.
NAK NAK NAK
This now means I can no longer run selftests, I thank you very much! :-/

I've always done:
cd tools/testing/selftests/x86; make
and that has always worked
Now I can't bloody well build *any* selftest or risk not being able to
do builds.
This change landed in 6.5, no? And 6.6 was just released. Just curious why
you notice that now.
And I hit it again (different box etc..)
Can we please get this garbage fixed already?
I'd suggest to either revert or turn into a warning.
@John?
