You're welcome (we appreciate when kernel maintainers look into LTP),
feel free to ask if you encounter more problems.

I would say mostly the current master branch is the best LTP, I would fallback
to the latest stable release only when master does not build.

Also, in your case, for NFS testing you need just to compile
testcases/network/nfs{,v4} directories and their dependencies
(testcases/lib/ testcases/network/netstress/).

Kind regards,
Petr
