Alexey Brodkin 143fe5b443 rt-tests: allow building subset of tests with non-NPTL toolchains
Some architectures are still stuck with non-NPTL toolchains.
These are for example ARC, Blackfin, Xtensa etc.

Still rt-tests are very good benchmarks and it would be good to enable use of
at least selected (those that will be built) tests on those architectures.

This change makes it possible to only build subset of tests that don't require
NPTL calls.

Following tests will be built with non-NPTL toolchain:
 * signaltest
 * ptsematest
 * sigwaittest
 * svsematest
 * sendme
 * hackbench

Still it's required to have a toolchain with threads support because most of
mentioned tests use threads.

03-fix-non-nptl-buil.patch was submitted upstream:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg762958.html
so as soon as it is accepted with the next version bump this patch should be
removed.

[Thomas: fix the rt-tests.mk test on NPTL to use positive logic.]

Set of utilities for testing the real-time behaviour of a
Linux system.
All tools are simple C programs with no dependencies, except
the hwlatdetect utility, which is a Python script and
therefore requires the Python interpreter. It will only be
installed if a Python interpreter has been selected in the
Buildroot configuration.
Note that this package requires a toolchain built with the
NPTL implementation of the pthread API (this is always the
case with glibc/eglibc toolchains, but may not necessarily
be the case with uClibc toolchains, since the thread
implementation is configurable).
