OK, that's what got me started on this one, but I switched to using the
ltp-kernel-test package for a more comprehensive set of tests once I got
past that first eabi structure change.

On the arm/x86_64 combination, I think the host & target cmd values are
the same, so the remapping is a noop. It may be needed for other
combinations though. Some architectures have very different values for
constants like this in their ABI.

I was trying to understand how your fix made apt-get/dpkg happy, or if
you were just using a different app that was hitting a different case
for fcntl().
