Once that is done, then when building with clang, via: make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests ...the following error occurs: clang: error: cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files This is because clang, unlike gcc, won't accept invocations of this form: clang file1.c header2.h Fix this by using selftests/lib.mk facilities for tracking local header file dependencies: add them to LOCAL_HDRS, leaving only the .c files to be passed to the compiler.
