Some funny business with this install target, I haven't investigated
fully but the dependency on all doesn't seem to do its job, and the
install target has a copy/paste of all with this line missing:

diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/Makefile b/tools/testing/selftests/Makefile
index 3b7df5477317..3aee8e7b9993 100644

Andres, please feel free to test / write commit message and submit this
one liner, but even with that the build for some targets fails for me.
"make [..] install" seems wobbly.
