Well, I asked for static pointer.

> Changes in v2:

ie instead of "int fd" define:
	int *fd;

We're getting there but not yet :).  My point was not to assign file descriptor
here in the setup function, but above in tcases[] array. For that you need to
define in struct tcases "int *fd" (i.e. pointer) instead of "int fd".

I pointed in v4 testcases/kernel/syscalls/bind/bind01.c, which uses
int *socket_fd, could you do it that way (use pointer)?

Kind regards,
Petr
