Subject: selftests/mm: silence unused-result warnings
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2025 17:01:10 +0000
Switching to -O2 when building the mm tests has the unexpected side effect
of triggering many unused-result warnings on certain distros like Ubuntu,
where GCC is configured so that -O2 implies -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
Explicitly disable FORTIFY_SOURCE to avoid those warnings. This has
no effect on upstream toolchains where FORTIFY_SOURCE is not
implicitly enabled.
