Not a showstopper, look at check_kernel_features() in preinst.
IIRC I can just add accept4 as well to the list there.

I find it idiotic that the glibc wrapper can't just  accept4() (and pipe2() and dup3()) in a way that it will do the equilavent with accept() and fcntl(), or at least provide so way to ask for this backwards-compat type wrapper. It would be done by the dynamic linker like a IFUNC thing but instead of hardware support it is kernel support.
