As you know (but to give others some context) there is a long-standing
bug in the selftest build environment that causes these problems (it
isn't including the uAPI headers) which you'd proposed to be fixed
recently[1]. Did that ever get sent as a "real" patch? I don't see it
in Shuah's tree; can you send it to Shuah?

But even with that fixed, since the seccomp selftest has a history of
being built stand-alone, I've continued to take these kinds of fixes.
