i just noticed this and wanted to note that an old
glibc can fail on a new kernel with this patch if
an application uses MINSIGSTKSZ altstack.

(the specific LTP bug could have been fixed on the libc
side, checking against whatever the libc MINSIGSTKSZ is
as long as it is larger than the kernel value, which
makes sense as userspace may have additional overhead
the kernel is not aware of so please don't try to keep
this in sync with glibc.. hopefully there will not be
another change though).
