Details:

While I was trying to build packages for Fedora, I ran into huge test-suite
failure.  For merely all tests the assertion within complain_about_leaky_fds
() failed on the descriptor 3 or 4.

Poking around, I discovered the function fd_is_cloexec () does not work
there.  As it seems to be kernel specific, I haven't been able to reproduce
it locally.

Here is a minimal example:

int main()
{
 const int fd = open(".", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC);
 if (-1 == fd)
   return EXIT_FAILURE;

 const int flags = fcntl(fd, F_GETFD);
 printf("fcntl(%d, F_GETFD) = 0x%x\n", fd, flags);
 return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The call of fnctl () returns 0x0 on the buildhost.
