I see the change in check_cc.sh is already covered by Usama's patch:

  selftests/x86: Add validity check and allow field splitting

-if "$CC" -o /dev/null "$TESTPROG" -O0 "$@" 2>/dev/null; then
+if [ -n "$CC" ] && $CC -o /dev/null "$TESTPROG" -O0 "$@" 2>/dev/null; then


However, the rest of this patch in the Makefiles still needs to
be applied.  Let me know if I should rebase it on top of Usama's.

Thanks,
Guillaume
