Can't we raise() the SIGALARM here instead of sleeping for one second
doing nothing? And if that is not possible, can we use setitimer() with
reasonably small interval instead (>0.1s)?

Why can't we compile this as a part of the LTP build process?

If we put the C file into the same directory as this test, it will be
compiled and installed automatically. We would have to add CFLAGS with
-ggdb to the Makefile though.

Also the path to the directory with LTP binaries must be in $PATH while
LTP test are executed, hence we then can call the binary without the ./

And lastly but not least the test binary should be prefixed by the test
name. Here it should be named vma05_test_vdso.c in a case that it gets
installed.
