AFAIU, the makefiles under tools/testing/selftests all end up including
tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk, which states:

"# This mimics the top-level Makefile. We do it explicitly here so that this
 # Makefile can operate with or without the kbuild infrastructure."

So I don't think it's using any of the definitions from the toplevel
Makefile.

A quick test indicates that the toplevel CONFIG_* definitions are unavailable
from the kernel selftests makefiles.

You're very welcome! Considering that I intend to have rseq widely adopted in
user-space, it's only natural to consider that its user-space side needs to be
compiled by clang as well.

Thanks,

Mathieu
