selftests/futex: pass _GNU_SOURCE without a value to the compiler
[ Upstream commit cb708ab9f584f159798b60853edcf0c8b67ce295 ]
It's slightly better to set _GNU_SOURCE in the source code, but if one
must do it via the compiler invocation, then the best way to do so is
this:
$(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE=
...because otherwise, if this form is used:
$(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE
...then that leads the compiler to set a value, as if you had passed in:
$(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE=1
That, in turn, leads to warnings under both gcc and clang, like this:
futex_requeue_pi.c:20: warning: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined
Fix this by using the "-D_GNU_SOURCE=" form.
