The rules to link selftests are: > $(OUTPUT)/%_ipv4: %.c > $(LINK.c) $^ $(LDLIBS) -o $@ > > $(OUTPUT)/%_ipv6: %.c > $(LINK.c) -DIPV6_TEST $^ $(LDLIBS) -o $@ The intel test robot uses only selftest's Makefile, not the top linux Makefile: > make W=1 O=/tmp/kselftest -C tools/testing/selftests So, $(LINK.c) is determined by environment, rather than by kernel Makefiles. On my machine (as well as other people that ran tcp-ao selftests) GNU/Make implicit definition does use $(LDFLAGS): > [dima@Mindolluin ~]$ make -p -f/dev/null | grep '^LINK.c\>' > make: *** No targets. Stop. > LINK.c = $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) But, according to build robot report, it's not the case for them. While I could just avoid using pre-defined $(LINK.c), it's also used by selftests/lib.mk by default. Anyways, according to GNU/Make documentation [1], I should have used $(LDLIBS) instead of $(LDFLAGS) in the first place, so let's just do it: > LDFLAGS > Extra flags to give to compilers when they are supposed to invoke > the linker, ‘ld’, such as -L. Libraries (-lfoo) should be added > to the LDLIBS variable instead. > LDLIBS > Library flags or names given to compilers when they are supposed > to invoke the linker, ‘ld’. LOADLIBES is a deprecated (but still > supported) alternative to LDLIBS. Non-library linker flags, such > as -L, should go in the LDFLAGS variable.
