 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.
