Thanks a lot, Richie!

No, we don't support 2.6.25 :). I was playing with Buildroot distro in my spare time.
These embedded toolchains suffer compatibility problems (usually uclibc-ng and
sometimes musl lack the support). This problem was when using sourcery-arm-*.

But this is definitely not a blocker for this patchset. That lapi is not a must,
I can fix it some time later. I usually fix few of these problems before each
LTP release.

Kind regards,
Petr
