Here in suse we use CTCS2 to run the testcases and we have a perl script
that generates the the test names accordingly to the directory structure
which doesn't help when looking into the kernel log but the segfault
is logged into the test results anyway.

And mostly because of that the current test execution framework both for
LTP and Open Posix Testsuite is a little out of my radar, although I
would like to have them fixed too.

Well I don't think that the option one is that hard, at least I'm not
aware of much cases of hardcoded names in the Open Posix Testsuite. On
the other hand having better test driver that executes the tests and
presents the result in more convinient way would be more appealing. Or
we can do both of them.

I was thinking of creating a relatively simply test driver that runs the
tests, takes care of timeouts (and anything else) and logs information
in some reasonable format (I used JSON in similar case). And then about
some tools that could compare the results, print list of failed
testcases and so on. Does that sound reasonable?

And on more general note we surely need to decide how to do things
there. There are some howtos in the Documentation directory none of them
are up to date.

It's rather crude hack, but I guess that it's better than nothing. And
you should probably remove the file after the test has finished.
