Android is a totally different environment in terms of user-land
(Dalvik based), libraries (bionic) and kernel as compared to the
normal GNU/Linux. You can't use the same cross-tool-chains for normal
Linux and Android.

As mentioned above, the LTP binaries and scripts which are compiled
using the normal cross-tool-chain won't work in Android environment.
You need to use the specific Android Tool-chain (latest NDK available
here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html ). Repeat the
same cross-compiling of LTP using the Android NDK (won't be that easy
as bionic isn't as smart or big as glibc). I would also recommend you
to port "Busybox" for Android or download it from the Android market
itself.  The "ash" shell available in Busybox should be enough for you
to get started with the scripts in LTP.

There are some patches already available for porting LTP to Android :
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ltp/14497
However,  these patches may not be acceptable to the mainstream LTP as
it breaks some existing tests in the "common/normal" platforms. I
think we can go ahead with the way we support UCLINUX in LTP ..
ie: #ifdef UCLINUX
So, if we care to re-write those patches with #ifdef ANDROID (or
#ifndef ANDROID based on our logic) without breaking other tests, I
think we can officially welcome Android related patches to LTP.

Cyril, Garrett, please let us know your thoughts on this.

Best Regards,
Maxin
