In next revision, I will add '-ldl' into tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile.

It's a problem as the test case is running on all architectures. I think I
need introduce our own __builtin_thread_pointer() for where it's not
supported: (1) PowerPC  (2) x86 without GCC 11

Please let me know if I still have missed cases where __buitin_thread_pointer()
isn't supported?

Thanks,
Gavin
