I think we can't apply until the above is resolved, as it will affect a
significant number of builds. See below for some hints on what I
believe is going on.

I don't think it's a glibc bug. The code being built in
testcases/kernel/kvm/ is some bare-metal code. The problem is that it
is being built with Stack Smashing Protection (-fstack-protector),
which requires runtime support from the gcc runtime... but that doesn't
exist for bare-metal code.

What's strange is that testcases/kernel/kvm/Makefile properly accounts
for that and passes -fno-stack-protector:

GUEST_CFLAGS = -ffreestanding -O2 -Wall -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -mno-mmx -mno-sse
GUEST_LDFLAGS = -nostdlib -Wl,--build-id=none -fno-stack-protector -z noexecstack

and then these flags are used as the CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS

lib_guest.o $(ARCH_OBJ): CPPFLAGS       := $(GUEST_CPPFLAGS)
lib_guest.o $(ARCH_OBJ): CFLAGS         := $(GUEST_CFLAGS)

Also, the compiler wrapper is passing -fstack-protector if you have one
of the BR2_SSP_* options enabled.

So in order to understand what's going on, could you:

(1) Run the build of ltp-testsuite in verbose mode, so that we get the
    actual compiler/linker command line, with all flags.

(2) Run the build with BR2_DEBUG_WRAPPER=2 to get the details of what
    the wrapper is doing ?

Also, which value are you using for the BR2_SSP_* Buildroot options?

Thanks!
