This causes an issue when using glib's gspawn APIs under libseccomp on
impish. It uses close_range to set CLOEXEC on some open file descriptors
and rightfully checks for ENOSYS. However, since seccomp doesn't know
about the syscall that becomes EPERM and it skips setting CLOEXEC
assuming there was a legit error in close_range. Eventually this means
that the process run by gspawn hangs because nothing is closing the file
descriptor as expected.

Debian has been shipping this backported to bullseye for a while -

  from upstream. I've hit problems running buildah in a systemd-nspawn
  container, but this will probably affect people trying to run modern
  code in other container systems as well, e.g. docker.
