Thanks for providing selftests :)

The Makefiles could use a little clean up:
  - cpu-opv doesn't need libpthread
  - you don't need to define your own rule just for building
  - use TEST_GEN_PROGS to hook into the right parts of lib.mk
  - .. which means you can use the clean rule in lib.mk


I notice you didn't add rseq or cpu-opv to the list of TARGETS in
tools/testing/selftests/Makefile, was that deliberate?

Feel free to squash this patch in if you're happy to.

This still works with:
  $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=rseq

and:
  $ cd tools/testing/selftests/rseq; make

cheers
