The makefile in arch/x86/Makefile.um sets LDFLAGS and exports it, which is then propagated to the selftest Makefiles and leads to build errors there. The build errors occur because we are passing LDFLAGS to CC, but the option set in Makefile.um (-m elf_x86_64) is not understood by CC. We could fix that by using -Wl, but that might break the UM build if it's actually passing that option to LD directly.
We don't actually want the LDFLAGS from kbuild in the selftest Makefile, so the simplest fix seems to be to clear LDFLAGS before invoking the selftest Makefile.
