BTW., when trying to build the rseq self-tests I get this build failure:

  dagon:~/tip/tools/testing/selftests/rseq> make

  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Is this a known problem, or do I miss something from my build environment 
perhaps? Vanilla 64-bit Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic).

Thanks,
