Here is what I got when trying to generate an image for ARM with Linux 2.6.29 and ltp-testsuite using buildroot 2009.08-rc2. Applying ltp-testsuite-enable-openposix-for-nptl.patch using plaintext: patching file testcases/Makefile Hunk #1 FAILED at 1. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file testcases/Makefile.rej Can I remove this patch safely ? Also, because of the patch "ltp-testsuite-generate-needs-bash.patch" we should add bash as a dependency of ltp-testsuite.

LTP contains lots more tests so it still covers many syscalls etc. without the Open POSIX tests. I don't think a dependency on bash is appropriate. LTP can run lots of different subsets of tests, many of which do not require bash, and bash is a big package to put on a small embedded system.
The ltp-testsuite package has been updated and reworked by http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=a72a670489547a3ca645ff7c3a0d9c3fb66eab51, and I have been able to successfully build it and run it.
