Hi Cyril/LTP Devs,
Today i pulled few fixes from master branch [1] on top of last LTP
release. While compiling i am getting below exception at
migrate_pages01. Can you help in look into the issue once?

I don't see anything suspicious in git log. If you go back to few commits
does the problem go away? Any chance you could bisect?
Other than that, I'd try following:
diff --git a/testcases/kernel/include/lib.mk b/testcases/kernel/include/lib.mk
index f79a1c0197e3..5c97ae2c9edf 100644
--- a/testcases/kernel/include/lib.mk
+++ b/testcases/kernel/include/lib.mk
@@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ KERNEL_DIR := $(abs_top_builddir)/testcases/kernel

No, I haven't. That LDLIBS variable hasn't changed since 2012, so
I'm curious why it started failing for you only recently.
