Subject: [PATCH] policycoreutils: make O_CLOEXEC optional

Various commits in the selinux tree in the current release added O_CLOEXEC
to open() calls in an attempt to address file descriptor leaks as
described:

   http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/53603.html

However O_CLOEXEC isn't available on all platforms, so make it a
compile-time option and generate a warning when it is not available.  The
actual impact of leaking these file descriptors is minimal, though it does
produce curious AVC Denied messages.

Uptream-Status: Inappropriate [O_CLOEXEC has been in Linux since 2007 and POSIX since 2008]
