The original stdbuf use only checked if /usr/bin/stdbuf exists in the host's system but failed to verify compatibility between stdbuf and the target test binary.
The issue occurs when: - Host system has glibc-based stdbuf from coreutils - Selftest binaries are compiled with a non-glibc toolchain (cross compilation)
The fix adds a runtime compatibility test against the target test binary before enabling stdbuf, enabling cross-compiled selftests to run successfully.
