Original patch from: gentoo/src/patchsets/glibc/2.9/1095_all_glibc-2.9-assume-pipe2.patch

-= BEGIN original header =-

http://bugs.gentoo.org/250342

http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9685

we cant assume sock_cloexec and pipe2 are bound together as the former defines

are found in glibc only while the latter are a combo of kernel headers and

glibc.  so if we do a runtime detection of SOCK_CLOEXEC, but pipe2() is a stub

inside of glibc, we hit a problem.  for example:

#include <grp.h>

#include <stdio.h>

main()

{

	getgrnam("portage");

	if (!popen("ls", "r"))

		perror("popen()");

}

getgrnam() will detect that the kernel supports SOCK_CLOEXEC and then set both

__have_sock_cloexec and __have_pipe2 to true.  but if glibc was built against

older kernel headers where __NR_pipe2 does not exist, glibc will have a ENOSYS

stub for it.  so popen() will always fail as glibc assumes pipe2() works.
