Currently exec-target.c file is linked as static and this post a requirement to install libc dev package to build. Without it, build-break when compiling selftest/powerpc/benchmark. CC exec_target /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status exec_target.c is using "syscall" library function which could be replaced with a inline assembly and the same is proposed as a fix here.
