When a test is in the FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC list in tools/build/Makefile.feature must be added to tools/build/feature/test-all.c, because the successfull compilation and linking of that test-all.bin file means that all the features listed in FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC are present in the system, so we don't have to go on feature by feature test building them. Since reallocarray() is expected to be present in modern systems, it has a place in FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC, so that we speed up the build process building just that file. For older systems, such as ubuntu:16.04 (build failure reported by Jin Yao) debian:8, and for the current flagship RHEL distro, RHEL7, the build will fail as test-all.bin (without test-reallocarray.c included) passes but reallocarray() isn't present, making the build fail with: CC /tmp/build/perf/libbpf.o MKDIR /tmp/build/perf/fs/ CC /tmp/build/perf/fs/tracing_path.o LD /tmp/build/perf/fd/...
