      Description

      The following qtbase tests failed:

      • qmutex:
      # /usr/lib/qtbase/ptest/tests/auto/corelib/thread/qmutex/tst_qmutex
      ********* Start testing of tst_QMutex *********
      Config: Using QtTest library 6.2.4, Qt 6.2.4 (arm-little_endian-ilp32-eabi-hardfloat shared (dynamic) release build; by GCC 11.3.0), poky 4.0.6
      [...]

         Loc: [/usr/src/debug/qtbase/6.2.4-r0/git/tests/auto/corelib/thread/qsemaphore/tst_qsemaphore.cpp(326)]
      

      A quick look with strace leads to futex related issue.

      The problem is similar to a recent gstreamer issue.

      Adding the following simple code to src/corelib/thread/qfutex_p.h fix the issue:

      #  ifdef __NR_futex_time64
      #    define __NR_futex __NR_futex_time64
      #  endif
      

      More checks must probably be added.
