Gold 0.1 test fail PR17704a_test

[bokret.magon@9ox.net]

Thanks.
I'm installing the distro 'linux from scratch'.
The command 'uname -a' prints out 'Linux 5.4.80-gentoo-r1 #2 SMP Fri Dec 11 18:20:40 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux'

If I enabled 'CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION' and/or 'CONFIG_X86_X32' in the kernel would that have helped? I read that 'int 0x80' invokes the 32bit ABI.
