What about this? Just like Willy did in 1da02f51088 ("selftests/nolibc:
support glibc as well"), Let's only limit the test case under the
__NR_gettimeofday #ifdef:

    diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/nolibc/nolibc-test.c b/tools/testing/selftests/nolibc/nolibc-test.c

     		CASE_TEST(gettimeofday_bad2); EXPECT_SYSER(1, gettimeofday(NULL, (void *)1), -1, EFAULT); break;
     #endif

With the above change, we can simply remove the ugly etext check like this:

    index d1d26da306b7..ebe8ed018db6 100644

    +		memset(tz, 0, sizeof(struct timezone));
     
     	if (tv == NULL)
     		return 0;
    

If agree, will apply this method in the next revision.

And the one for waitid may work like this:
