there are four such files:
        testcases/kernel/syscalls/getitimer/getitimer03.c
        testcases/kernel/syscalls/getresgid/getresgid01.c
        testcases/kernel/syscalls/nftw/Makefile
        testcases/kernel/syscalls/nftw/nftw64.h

the Makefile has at least be rewritten enough that i think we can change things 
as the code has largely been written by Garrett Cooper now

if we can't locate someone (Wayne Boyer?) for the tests, i suggest looking at 
what they test (just read the comment block), then delete the file and write a 
new test from scratch.

the header file i think might be accidental as none of the nftw files look that 
way.  instead, they have the ibm copyright.  so i'd just change it to that.
