Ok. In Debian this is in libc6-dev (utmpx.h). The purpose of calling
sched_getcpu is to check whether the reader and writer threads are running on a
different cpu or not.

AFAICS your only single-cpu system passes the test. SMP fail.

Ok, Try this:
make test-int-array-jack
make test-int-array-portaudio-nobarrier
./test-int-array-jack 512
./test-int-array-portaudio-nobarrier 512

I'm curious to see whether Portaudio's ringbuffer fail when it has no memory
barrier, on non-x86/unusual architectures.
