After think about it. I find a way to keep OUTPUT with out slash. Could
you please take a look?

I have already test the x86 with the following method:
make -C tools/testing/selftests TAREGTS=x86
make -C tools/testing/selftests/x86
make -C tools/testing/selftests/x86 xxx

The build flag and dependency is correct.
Build all the testcase succesful. I am running the test and try difference build
method. Hope I could solve the regression soon.
