This needs to be in a #ifdef HAVE_SYS_PRCTL_H (which is already
defined).

You need to add a configure-time header check for this one and then
make the include conditional, as we need to make sure we build on
machines without seccomp (which includes non-Linux systems too).

Is the second argument of PR_GET_SETCOMP ever used? The man page
suggests that it takes no arguments.
Also, I see that if prctl() is not allowed, the process will be killed.
Is there any condition where prctl() might not be allowed by seccomp,
but we might still be able to function correctly?

Could you clarify what needs to be done for this TODO to go away?

This entire condition would then be within a conditional for the
presence of prctl.h and seccomp.h.
