selftests/bpf: Fix vmtest static compilation error
[ Upstream commit 2514a31241e1e9067d379e0fbdb60e4bc2bf4659 ]
As stated in README.rst, in order to resolve errors with linker errors,
'LDLIBS=-static' should be used. Most problems will be solved by this
option, but in the case of urandom_read, this won't fix the problem. So
the Makefile is currently implemented to strip the 'static' option when
compiling the urandom_read. However, stripping this static option isn't
configured properly on $(LDLIBS) correctly, which is now causing errors
on static compilation.
# LDLIBS=-static ./vmtest.sh
ld.lld: error: attempted static link of dynamic object liburandom_read.so
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [Makefile:190: /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/urandom_read] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
This commit fixes this problem by configuring the strip with $(LDLIBS).
