Do you want me to split this further into two commits? selftests/x86/Makefile: Per-target configuration of linked libraries Targets can set $(LIBS) to specify a different set of libraries than the defaults (or no libraries at all). And: selftests/x86/Makefile: Do not pass header files as compiler inputs Filtering out .h files avoids accidentally creating a precompiled header. I didn't want to game commit metrics. Thanks, Florian
