And across supported architectures. So far, I tested it only on x86_64
and i686 and there were quite a few differences. I would be surprised
if it worked on arm even in the default configuration :).

I guess glibc and getaddrinfo() will be the most problematic part in
the chrony seccomp support. Is there a precedent in Fedora of a
package using a seccomp filter and getaddrinfo() by default?

If we can't enable it by default, I'll be ok with that. Currently I'm
just interested in how it works for others.

Another possibility is to add a new level to the chrony seccomp
support that would use a blacklisting approach, disabling syscalls or
their arguments that historically are most dangerous and we can be
sure won't be ever needed. I hope that's not an empty set.
