we cant assume sock_cloexec and pipe2 are bound together as the former defines
are found in glibc only while the latter are a combo of kernel headers and
glibc.  so if we do a runtime detection of SOCK_CLOEXEC, but pipe2() is a stub
inside of glibc, we hit a problem.  for example:

#include <grp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
	getgrnam("portage");
	if (!popen("ls", "r"))
		perror("popen()");
}

getgrnam() will detect that the kernel supports SOCK_CLOEXEC and then set both
__have_sock_cloexec and __have_pipe2 to true.  but if glibc was built against
older kernel headers where __NR_pipe2 does not exist, glibc will have a ENOSYS
stub for it.  so popen() will always fail as glibc assumes pipe2() works.
