Thank you for your patch, it looks sane. I'm not sure what version it 
applies against though, when I tried to apply it, it failed.
I did accept the first cross-compile patch, that wasn't suffiencient for 
your purposes, so you need to apply your patch on top of that.

Can you respin it against the following branch please? (and resend it of 
course)

repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/rt-tests/rt-tests.git
branch: devel/v0.95-devel

Thanks

John
