<br>
Short answer: No.<br>
<br>
More detailed answer:<br>
<br>
LTP should be backwards compatible for about 10 years back for both<br>
kernel and userspace (libc, gcc, etc.). I.e. latest should run fine on<br>
10 years old distribution and anything newer. Latest LTP also contains<br>
more testcases and fixes so in 99% of the cases it makes senes to use<br>
either latest stable release or a git HEAD.<br>
