Since commit d9f4ff50d2aa ("kbuild: spilt cc-option and friends to
scripts/Makefile.compiler"), some kselftests fail to build.
The tools/ directory opted out Kbuild, and went in a different
direction. They copy any kind of files to the tools/ directory
in order to do whatever they want in their world.
tools/build/Build.include mimics scripts/Kbuild.include, but some
tool Makefiles included the Kbuild one to import a feature that is
missing in tools/build/Build.include:
- Commit ec04aa3ae87b ("tools/thermal: tmon: use "-fstack-protector"
only if supported") included scripts/Kbuild.include from
tools/thermal/tmon/Makefile to import the cc-option macro.
- Commit c2390f16fc5b ("selftests: kvm: fix for compilers that do
not support -no-pie") included scripts/Kbuild.include from
tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile to import the try-run macro.
- Commit 9cae4ace80ef ("selftests/bpf: do not ignore clang
failures") included scripts/Kbuild.include from
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile to import the .DELETE_ON_ERROR
target.
- Commit 0695f8bca93e ("selftests/powerpc: Handle Makefile for
unrecognized option") included scripts/Kbuild.include from
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/pmu/ebb/Makefile to import the
try-run macro.
Copy what they need into tools/build/Build.include, and make them
include it instead of scripts/Kbuild.include.
