The processor is a Core 2 Quad and the kernel was initially compiled for x86_64 but recompiled for i386 with no change in outcome.  I am using a custom kernel configuration which is referenced in the buildroot "Kernel" configuration menu.

I've checked around in the archives and couldn't find anything that was useful to solving my situation.  Running the latency test command by itself works so I know Xenomai is working but it's just unable to complete the xeno-test commands.  Can anyone suggest some direction to look in to hopefully solve the issue with the switchtest device?

  There is probably some module that you need to load, and maybe there's 
something you need to configure in the Xenomai section of the kernel 
config. But this almost certainly has nothing to do with buildroot. You'd 
better consult the Xenomai website and ask on the Xenomai list.
