Actually I have no idea. But generally the further back you go the more unstable the whole LTP gets. I'm pretty sure you will not be able to even compile 10 years old LTP regardless the uClinux enabled or not. Looking at the commit logs it looks like last time anything has been fixed for uClinux was 2009. > A point were a subset worked would be nice, I'd like to run tests > involving unwinding and signals. You may be better off taking an LTP from 2016 before we added the new LTP test library which is about the time we started to remove uClinux support, i.e. before commit: commit bbdb9f78378c7e038f463efa39d2470e1c51ad54 Author: Cyril Hrubis Date: Wed Mar 16 15:53:57 2016 +0100 lib: Add new test library API And disable tests until it compiles. -- Cyril Hrubis chrubis@suse.cz
