[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] ltp-testsuite: Add upstream patch to fix build numa detection

Hi Baruch,

thanks for info!

Understand. I'm sorry I didn't realize that numactl is not name of binary package,
but name of the whole library. I didn't know that upstream uses it as name of the whole
project.

This makes sense. Would you please prepare patch?


Kind regards,
