Tools build error due to "Auto-detecting system features" missing cleanup

Tools build error due to "Auto-detecting system features" missing cleanup

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer]

Started as a build error for bpftool. On latest DaveM net-git tree
(06a4ec1d9dc652), I got this build error, when building the bpftool:

 cd tools/bpf/bpftool
 $ make
 
 Auto-detecting system features:
 ...                        libbfd: [ on  ]

This were related to tools/build/feature ("Auto-detecting system features")
that had a stalled version of the test-reallocarray.d file:

In /home/jbrouer/git/kernel/net/tools/build/feature:

 $ ll *realloc*
 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jbrouer jbrouer  152 Oct 30  2019 test-reallocarray.c
 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jbrouer jbrouer 1156 Oct 30  2019 test-reallocarray.d
 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jbrouer jbrouer  321 Oct 30  2019 test-reallocarray.make.output

The 'make clean' target doesn't cleanup enough for the feature-test to be
compiled again. (Tested both make clean in tools/build/ and tools/bpf/bpftool).

If I delete test-reallocarray.d, then the feature-test is recompiled and I don't
get the error (as reallocarray is avail on this system). Files avail now:

In /home/jbrouer/git/kernel/net/tools/build/feature:

 $ ll *realloc*
 -rwxrwxr-x. 1 jbrouer jbrouer 21992 Aug 18 11:29 test-reallocarray.bin
 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jbrouer jbrouer   152 Oct 30  2019 test-reallocarray.c
 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jbrouer jbrouer  1398 Aug 18 11:29 test-reallocarray.d
 -rw-rw-r--. 1 jbrouer jbrouer     0 Aug 18 11:29 test-reallocarray.make.output

Thus, given test-reallocarray.bin exist the compile test was success. This
indicate that my Fedora system in Oct 2019 didn't support reallocarray and
needed the workaround in tools/include/tools/libc_compat.h. I likely did some
upgrade or install some RPM in the meanwhile that changed the situation.
Regardless of how this got stalled, this needs to be fixed.

I propose that the make clean target should cause the feature tests to be
recompiled. Below change to tools/build/Makefile solves the issue locally in
tools/build/, but this isn't triggered when calling make clean in other tools
directories that use the feature tests.

What is the correct make clean fix?
