Hi Cyril,

> The previous message was confusing. On 32bit machine sendfile09 tests
> that has .needs_abi_bits = 64 produced this message:

> tst_test.c:1493: TCONF: 64bit ABI is not supported

> This message is a bit confusing, since on 32bit x86 machine 64bit ABI
> is, of course, not supported, so why do we skip the test?

> After this patch the message is:

> tst_test.c:1493: Test needs 64bit ABI

> Which is, as far as I can tell, more clear.

+1, sure, merge before release.
