Kernel modules need to be built with the same compiler as the kernel was built with. Thus, try to explicitly pass the right compiler (detected from kernel config) to Make when compiling the modules, so that the testsuite can be successfully built also on systems with clang-built kernel, but with GCC as the default compiler. Note that the rest of the testsuite doesn't currently build with clang, so just changing CC for the whole testuite is not enough as a workaround. And even after fixing testsuite to build with clang, it will be beneficial to be able to use a different compiler to build the testsuite than the one needed for the kernel modules - for example to find more bugs by building the test programs with multiple compilers in CI.
