It just occured to me that the bug report I was fixing with my attempt was
invoking make like this (see [1]):
# tools/testing/selftests/fchmodat2$ make CC=clang
# tools/testing/selftests/openat2$ make CC=clang
So LLVM is not set in this case. Perhaps my approach [2] (suggested by Arnd) of
using cc-option is more robust? (cc-option is alredy used by other selftests).
