CLONE_NEWIPC has been introduced in Linux 2.6.19 only (and into glibc at around that time as well). Cope with it being undefined as well as with the underlying kernel not knowing of it.
Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <[email protected]> --- Considering how old "old" here really means, I could understand if this was rejected, in which case I'd carry a simplified version locally. I don't run such old kernels together with modern Xen, but I do occasionally build on such old systems. --- a/tools/libxl/libxl_linux.c +++ b/tools/libxl/libxl_linux.c @@ -334,12 +334,24 @@ int libxl__local_dm_preexec_restrict(lib unsigned i; /* Unshare mount and IPC namespaces.
