Wait.

I check it again. I think we should do it under 
'testcases/open_posix_testsuite/' too ? For me it doesn't work only do 
this just before 'cd testcase/...'

Please see:

$ cd testcases/open_posix_testsuite/ $ ls AUTHORS bin ChangeLog 
configure.ac COPYING functional Makefile QUICK-START scripts tools 
autom4te.cache BUILD configure conformance Documentation include NEWS 
README stress

The 'make generate-makefiles' will fail without running the 
`./configure` under 'testcases/open_posix_testsuite/':

$ make generate-makefiles include/mk/env.mk:8: 
/tmp/ltp/testcases/open_posix_testsuite/include/mk/config.mk: No such 
file or directory make: *** No rule to make target 
'/tmp/ltp/testcases/open_posix_testsuite/include/mk/config.mk'. Stop.

Run then './configure' first and then run to generate the makefiles it 
will succeed:

$ ./configure checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler 
works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out 
checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross 
compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking 
whether the compiler supports GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts 
-g... yes checking for gcc option to enable C11 features... none needed 
configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating
