A bug in selftests. And quite likely, it probably happens only with
some compiler versions.

I don't think patches only touching tools/testing/selftests/ qualify
for stable in general. They don't affect the end users.

I'd argue that a bug in your tests is just as (if not even more) worse
than a bug in the code.
