You're not supposed to do that :)  The targets are test_vsyscall_32
and test_vsyscall_64 or just plain make.  I think you're just ending
up with make's default rule to try to build it and it's not working.

We could try adding something like:

# The x86 selftests have files like foo.c that don't produce binaries
# called foo (they're foo_32 and foo_64 instead).  Prevent confusion
# if someone types 'make foo'.
% : %.c
% : %.o

to tools/testing/selftests/x86/Makefile, but that's a bit gross.
