As far as I can see that was the only problem we had for the ARM
platform. And I was able to solve it by enabling backtrace support in
uCLibC. Still I would rather not enable backtrace support on the target
only to be able to compile a test program that is never going to be run.

No, I also had to make the build of 'test-varargs' depend on
HAVE_BACKTRACE. I'll attach the updated patch.


Thanks, Sven
