Which is more or less my point. It works fine with the book (since that's
what we test), but anything else is fair game to break at any point.
> However, this problem is the same with glibc: SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
from glibc 2.9, at a minimum.
And we use 2.10.1, so it still works fine. Wait, no, we use 2.11.1 now.
That must have been upgraded since I built this system -- but either way,
it's newer than 2.9.
The udev maintainers seem to have *no* problem adding code that requires
the very latest other source packages; their rationale seems to be "if
distros want to support older kernel, glibc, etc. versions, then they're
free to do so, but the maintenance burden is on them: we don't do that".
FWIW.
