Thank you for looking at that!

Removing this line breaks our CI validating MPTCP selftests. That's
because this "top_srcdir" variable is needed in the "lib.mk" file which
is included at the end of this Makefile.

But that's maybe a misuse from our side. Indeed to avoid compiling
binaries and more from the VM, our CI does that as a preparation job
before starting the VM and run MPTCP selftests:

  $ make O=(...) INSTALL_HDR_PATH=(...)/kselftest/usr headers_install
  $ make O=(...) -C tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp

>From the VM, we re-use the same source directory and we can start
individual tests without having to compile anything else:

  $ cd tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp
  $ ./mptcp_connect.sh

We want to do that because some scripts are launched multiple times with
different parameters.

With your modifications, we can drop the headers_install instruction but
we need to pass new parameters to the last 'make' command:

  $ make O=(...) top_srcdir=../../../../.. \
                 KHDR_INCLUDES=-I(...)/usr/include \
         -C tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp

Or is there a better way to do that?
Can we leave the definition of "top_srcdir" like it was or did we miss
something else?

Note: I see there is a very long recipients list. If my issue is not
directly due to your modifications, we can probably continue the
discussion with a restricted audience.

Cheers,
