[Qemu-devel] make error

[Ronald Delobel <rdelobel@gmail.com>]

Hello,

This is the error I get when building qemu-2.11.[0-1] with
gcc-7.3.0/glibc-2.27, removing the static attribute suffice to finnish the
build using the glibc provided memfd_create and qemu don't crash, but I
miss some knowledge here about what a static function really is, a kind of
private one? Shouldn't it be renamed instead and stay as static?

Just to report it.
