Individual test files may fail to compile when headers or kernel features required by that test are absent. Currently this aborts the entire build.
Make the per-test compilation non-fatal: remove the output object on failure and print a SKIP-TEST marker to stderr. Guard the BTFIDS post-processing step so it is skipped when the object file is absent. The linker step will later ignore absent objects, allowing the remaining tests to build and run.
