User-space samples in ./samples/ are compiled with HOSTCC, which is
the compiler for the _local_ machine. Regardless of cross-compiling
the same local compiler is used. So I cannot understand why this is
even remotely related to cross compiling. Please elaborate.
Please note that this is HOSTCC running, so it does *NOT* require the
toolchain for your cross-compiled architecture.

Also, please tell me why your system has "linux/memfd.h" available,
but __NR_memfd_create is undefined?

Anyway, patch is attached. Can you verify it works?
David
