Yeah sorry that doesn't work.

If $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) isn't defined you end up with:

gcc -Wall -I /include -o compaction_test compaction_test.c -lrt
^

Which is wrong.

INSTALL_HDR_PATH will not be defined when the tests are built standalone, ie.
like:

$ make -C tools/testing/selftests


This has been on my todo list to fix, but it doesn't actually bother me so I
haven't got around to it.

Does the patch below work for you? It uses INSTALL_HDR_PATH if it is defined,
or otherwise KERNEL_HEADERS if it is defined, or finally it guesses at
../../../usr/include (ie. the base of the source tree).

cheers
