[LTP] [PATCH] select: tests offer choice of syscall path:

I was meanwhile thinking of how we should handle the libc/syscall
multiplexing and I would be probably in favor of doing it on runtime
since I do not see any reason why we should generate test binary for
each syscall variant.

Rather than that I'm looking into having a multiplexer callback from the
new test library that would allow running the test function in a loop
for each possible syscall variant.

I will send a RFC patch ideally today and add you into CC.
