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.

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

lib: Add new test library API

And disable tests until it compiles.
