As per a discussion with Muhammad Usama Anjum [1], the following is how
one is supposed to build selftests:
make headers && make -C tools/testing/selftests/mm
Change the selftest build system's lib.mk to fail out with a helpful
message if that prerequisite "make headers" has not been done yet.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
