Build error with gcc 15 on Fedora 42

[ycollet]

I am trying to build rt-test on Fedora 42 with gcc 15. The build fails with the following error message:

This is because rt-sched.h re-defines functions and structs already present in sched.h This was fixed upstream, but in the meanwhile if an external tool is still using the latest version (Intel's LKP-tests in my case), you can quickly build removing the files and references.

In short, you need to remove all #include "rt-sched.h" and do not build rt-sched.o :

grep rt-sched -r -l | xargs sed -i '/include ["<]rt-sched.h/d'
sed -i 's/ rt-sched.o//' Makefile
