I don't think whole of this commit needs to be reverted. Lets leave the
warning message as it is and just remove the condition to abort the
compilation.


Hi Muhammad!

If we do decide that "make headers" or something like it is required,
then yes, this patch should be changed from a revert, to a "warn instead
of failing out" patch.

First, though, I'd like us to choose a design direction. The patch as
written is intended to put us on a design that does not require "make
headers" before building the selftests, because that approach would work
for all the cases I've seen so far.

If we want something else, then David Hildenbrand has listed several
ideas, and I've added a 4th one to the list, in [1].
