The signal Makefile rules pass all the dependencies for each executable, including headers, to the compiler which GCC is happy enough with but clang rejects: clang --target=aarch64-none-linux-gnu -fintegrated-as -Wall -O2 -g -I/home/broonie/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/ -isystem /home/broonie/git/linux/usr/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -std=gnu99 -I. test_signals.c test_signals_utils.c testcases/testcases.c signals.S testcases/fake_sigreturn_bad_magic.c test_signals.h test_signals_utils.h testcases/testcases.h -o testcases/fake_sigreturn_bad_magic clang: error: cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files This happens because clang gets confused about what to do with the header files, failing to identify them as source. This is not amazing behaviour on clang's part and should ideally be fixed but even if that happens we'd still need a new clang release so let's instead rework the Makefile so we use variables for the lists of header and source files, allowing us to only pass the source files to the compiler and keep clang happy. As a bonus the resulting Makefile is a bit easier to read.

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.
