Yes, it sucks :-/

I must say I still don't understand the overlap of the kernel headers
and glibc here. 

In the kernel, we have:

include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h:#define __O_TMPFILE    020000000

In glibc, we have:

sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/fcntl-linux.h:# define __O_TMPFILE   (020000000 | __O_DIRECTORY)

Which is not even the same value.

Same for SPARC.

I'd still say that patching systemd is the easiest solution, and we
will be able to remove this patch once we get rid of those too old
toolchains (which we will have to do at some point, when they become
too annoying / irrelevant).

Thanks,

Thomas
