My rtai_math.ko problems were simply an incorrect directory I pointed RTAI make to for libm.a.  All fixed.

Modified my kernel config to match the differences you posted below and recompiled, recompiled RTAI against the new kernel, and found the same results.

Also tried with and without lapic=notscdeadline boot option.

No change.  Still works with /usr/realtime/testsuite/kern/latency/run, does not work with /usr/realtime/testsuite/user/latency/run.  Hangs at the same location (line 1935 of base/sched/sched.c, where it tries to go hard real-time by calling: __ipipe_migrate_head();).  That call never returns until I Control-C.

But of course, it helps if I read.  Back in January, this thread started by Emmanuel Pacaud: http://mail.rtai.org/pipermail/rtai/2016-January/027047.html speaks of userspace testsuite issues identical to mine, caused by the IPIPE_LEGACY switch being on.  I had set it (our RTAI-based software has been around since the early days of RTAI, wasn't sure if I needed it, so I switched it on).  

So I tried setting CONFIG_IPIPE_LEGACY=n (in make menuconfig for linux kernel) which seems to automatically set CONFIG_IPIPE_TARGET_APIREV=2.  Recompiled kernel, reboot, recompiled RTAI against my new kernel, and tried again.

Lo and behold, RTAI userspace latency test works!  Removed my /usr/realtime/calibration/latencies file and on next insmod, rtai_sched properly completed its calibration!

Perhaps RTAI-5's configure should fail with an instructive message if /usr/src/linux/.config (or /proc/config.gz) contains CONFIG_IPIPE_LEGACY=y or CONFIG_IPIPE_TARGET_APIREV=1?

Now on to solve my next problem; rtai_math.ko fails to insert with some unknown symbols.

Thank you, I'm watching differences between yout Kconfig and mine.
Could you please do a try modifying the settings of these subsystem as above ?
Remember also to boot with lapic=notscdeadline boot options (just modify /etc/ default/grub and add lapic=notscdeadline to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and run sudo
update-grub)
