[LTP] [PATCH v4 2/4] Add script to generate arch(s) dependant syscalls

Hi Andrea,

Nice improvement, thanks!

This C application is in the Linux kernel and we only consume the result right?

If the C app was needed to be run for LTP, that would broke LTP cross compilation.
(There are people compiling LTP with cross compilation, e.g. arm folks in yocto
and Buildroot, riscv64 on openSUSE Tumbleweed).

nit: I would still use some SPDX + copyright here.

Generally all shell variables should be quoted to avoid problems with space.
Feel free to do that before merge.

KERNELSRC="$1"

Also here and on other places.

if [ -z "$KERNELSRC" ]; then

Try run script with:
KERNELSRC="foo bar"

[: aa: unexpected operator

Kind regards,
