It is less capable than you might think. Without the admittedly ugly technique
above, it fails to build, and as you can see, the include paths that are fed to
gcc are just a single one: usr/include:

$ make
make --no-builtin-rules ARCH=x86 -C ../../../.. headers_install
gcc -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include     gup_test.c 
/kernel_work/linux-next-github/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_harness.h 
/kernel_work/linux-next-github/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest.h ../../../../mm/gup_test.h -lrt -o 
/kernel_work/linux-next-github/tools/testing/selftests/vm/gup_test
make[1]: Entering directory '/kernel_work/linux-next-github'
gup_test.c:10:10: fatal error: gup_test.h: No such file or directory
    10 | #include "gup_test.h"
       |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
