Come on, the silliness has to stop.  The kernel must be recent and to
use it adequately the C library also must be recent.  And "recent" is
not even correct anymore: the functions are available for more then two
years.  Removing the use of the modern interfaces makes everything
slower and might even re-introduce race conditions my patch fixed.
