I don't understand why this is taking so long. O_CLOEXEC was defined on
Linux long before all supported kernels had it, and people (used to?)
have fallback code for the case where open(O_CLOEXEC) returned EINVAL,
to do the racy fcntl dance. I don't see why the kernel running on
buildds matters one bit for whether userland gets the define...
