Hi,

First, I must warn you that I am currently working on 20130109 ltp version (we do not have time at work to update to latest versions...). We are currently porting Linux to our processor architecture, and we need to have tests running, hence we decided to use ltp. Everything worked well on our first architecture but now, our compiler has to deal with two different architectures and to distinguish them, we have a gcc flag -mcore=a or -mcore=b.
The problem is that during compilation of 16 bits syscalls (setresgid01/2/3_16 for example), CFLAGS do not seem to be propagated :

*-linux-gcc -mcore=b /AND A LOT OF OTHER FLAGS/ -c -o setresgid01_16.o setresgid01.c
*-linux-gcc -L../../../../lib setresgid03_16.o -lltp -o setresgid03_16

As you can see on second line, c flags do not appear : I checked out your latest version of compat_16.mk to see if any modification might help, but no.
The same problem appears with 64 bits syscalls (And I did the same modifications in newer_64.mk than in your latest compat_16.mk (that you did not do by the way), but it did not help either).

Do you have any hint ? Maybe I just don't set the correct environment variables (FYI : I build ltp through buildroot, and I set TARGET_C(PP)FLAGS), maybe that's a problem you already solved in newest version...

Thanks for your help guys, hope you don't mind me asking questions about very old versions :)
