     1.6 +
     1.7 +we cant assume sock_cloexec and pipe2 are bound together as the former defines
     1.8 +are found in glibc only while the latter are a combo of kernel headers and
     1.9 +glibc.  so if we do a runtime detection of SOCK_CLOEXEC, but pipe2() is a stub
    1.10 +inside of glibc, we hit a problem.  for example:
    1.11 +
    1.12 +#include <grp.h>
    1.13 +#include <stdio.h>
    1.14 +main()
    1.15 +{
    1.16 +	getgrnam("portage");
    1.17 +	if (!popen("ls", "r"))
    1.18 +		perror("popen()");
    1.19 +}
    1.20 +
    1.21 +getgrnam() will detect that the kernel supports SOCK_CLOEXEC and then set both
    1.22 +__have_sock_cloexec and __have_pipe2 to true.  but if glibc was built against
    1.23 +older kernel headers where __NR_pipe2 does not exist, glibc will have a ENOSYS
    1.24 +stub for it.  so popen() will always fail as glibc assumes pipe2() works.
