[PATCH] selftests: kselftest_deps.sh: Support LLVM
From: Mark Brown
Date: Tue Oct 13 2026 - 15:40:34 EST
The kselftest_deps.sh script currently takes a compiler as the first
argument and uses it to check that libraries needed by the selftests
are installed. This works well for GCC where a separate binary is
provided for each target architecture but is less of a good fit for
LLVM where a single compiler binary can target all of the supported
architetures. Extend the script to accept "LLVM" as the compiler with
an additional optional ARCH= argument so that it can be used when
building with LLVM in a similar fashion to how the actual build works.
The duplication with the main Makefile isn't ideal here.
