Since commit d9f4ff50d2aa ("kbuild: spilt cc-option and friends to scripts/Makefile.compiler"), some kselftests fail to build.
The tools/ directory opted out Kbuild, and went in a different direction. They copy any kind of files to the tools/ directory in order to do whatever they want in their world.
tools/build/Build.include mimics scripts/Kbuild.include, but some tool Makefiles included the Kbuild one to import a feature that is missing in tools/build/Build.include:
Commit ec04aa3ae87b ("tools/thermal: tmon: use "-fstack-protector" only if supported") included scripts/Kbuild.include from tools/thermal/tmon/Makefile to import the cc-option macro.
Commit c2390f16fc5b ("selftests: kvm: fix for compilers that do not support -no-pie") included scripts/Kbuild.include from tools/testing/selftests/kvm/Makefile to import the try-run macro.
Commit 9cae4ace80ef ("selftests/bpf: do not ignore clang failures") included scripts/Kbuild.include from tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile to import the .DELETE_ON_ERROR target.
Commit 0695f8bca93e ("selftests/powerpc: Handle Makefile for unrecognized option") included scripts/Kbuild.include from tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/pmu/ebb/Makefile to import the try-run macro.
Copy what they need into tools/build/Build.include, and make them include it instead of scripts/Kbuild.include.

LGTM although I see some tools Makefile directly added ".DELETE_ON_ERROR:" in their Makefile.
