The kernel version is 4.19. I applied the ILP32 patches from
https://github.com/norov/linux.git. The glibc version is 2.28 and I applyed the
ILP32 patches.
The ltp testsuite is from https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp. I build it
with '-mabi=ilp32'.

Thanks for your advice. Thanks a lot.
I have written another version according to your advice.
