That's the point. All artifacts should be in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
if 'make' was done there regardless of KBUILD_OUTPUT.

KBUILD_OUTPUT is a valid dir where kernel build goes.

makefile should not create the dir this automatically.

No. KBUILD_OUPUT must be ignored while building selftests/bpf.
Just like it's ignored when samples/bpf/ are build.
People do 'cd samples/bpf; make; run stuff'
and they do the same 'cd .../selftests/bpf; make; run'
