[PATCH] selftests: prctl: don't fail to build when cross compiling

From: Sasha Levin

Date: Sun Oct 11 2026 - 18:36:30 EST


The prctl Makefile includes lib.mk only for native x86 builds. With
CROSS_COMPILE set, or for other architectures, it defines no targets at
all, and since prctl is in the default selftests TARGETS, the build
fails:

make: *** No targets. Stop.

Include lib.mk unconditionally, so that those builds have nothing to do
instead of failing. Native x86 builds are unchanged.

Fixes: 5290586186d24 ("selftests: prctl: Add new prctl test for PR_SET_VMA action")
