There are no such thing as far as I am aware - the arm64 selftests are
*very* actively used by a range of people and CI systems, I certainly
build them pretty consistently and am aware of no build failures with
either GCC or clang.  You do need to install the headers to get the
current APIs but until your commit everything was building cleanly.

If you are seeing any problems please report them.
