Yeah, this sounds good to me.

No problem. I think it is better to be placed under ftracetest/bin/ and
add a PATH before running testcases.

Hmm, in some embedded environment, we may not have make nor gcc.
So it would be better to be build in the kselftest build process as similar
to the other kselftests.

What about putting the source code under ftracetest/src/. For the embedded
devices, it can be built with cross-tools (and make it static binary if
needed) and install it under ftracetest/bin. If we have no cross-build
tool etc. we just skip building the binary under ftracetest/bin. And if 
the testcase finds there is no binary, it just returns UNRESOLVED or UNTESTED.

(currently I returns UNRESOLVED when the test target kmodule is not found)

Thank you,
