[PATCH 8/9] selftests: Fix stdbuf compatibility in mixed libc environments
Posted by Aqib Faruqui 1 month ago
The original stdbuf use only checked if /usr/bin/stdbuf exists in the
host's system but failed to verify compatibility between stdbuf and the
target test binary.

The issue occurs when:
- Host system has glibc-based stdbuf from coreutils
- Selftest binaries are compiled with a non-glibc toolchain (cross
  compilation)

The fix adds a runtime compatibility test against the target test binary
before enabling stdbuf, enabling cross-compiled selftests to run
successfully.
