I just wanted some feedback from anyone who has a better idea. The problem is
that compiling the latest LTP using Linux 2.6 does not work. The issue is with
CONFIG_BASE_SMALL being undefined. It is normally selected in 'init/Kconfig'
and thus it ends up being defined in 'include/linux/config.h' which is not
included in the libc-headers used to build uClibc. My solution was to patch
the headers and remove usage of it all together. It is normally set to 0 for
all but a few odd configurations. Comments or ideas welcome.
