Hi! These patches make the code gracefully handle missing F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC support at build and run-time. This affects at least current GNU/kFreeBSD systems. I've included the last patch so that GNU/kFreeBSD systems can immediately benefit from F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC before glibc is updated there, but if you prefer to omit that one out of disgust, that would be fine I guess. While the actual problem is that sysfs code is being built and used on non-Linux systems, it is too entrenched to get rid of it w/o substantial amounts of work. Also GNU/kFreeBSD does have limited sysfs support via the compat linsysfs, so it might not be entirely useless there. But it certainly is not useful on GNU/Hurd though, at least not currently. The patches were tested by Steven Chamberlain.
