This definition seems to be missing from some older toolchains.

Note that the fcntl.h in libbpf_internal.h is not a kernel header
but rather a toolchain libc header.

Fixes:
libbpf_internal.h:521:18: error: 'F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'FD_CLOEXEC'?
fd = fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, 3);

Do you have some more info on your env (e.g. libc)? Looks like F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
was added back in 2.6.24 kernel. When did libc add it?

It seems like it's guarded by __USE_XOPEN2K8 in glibc (from a quick
glance at glibc code). But it's been there since 2010 or so, at the
very least.

Should we instead just add an include for <linux/fcntl.h> to libbpf_internal.h
(given it defines F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC as well)?

yep, this is UAPI header so we can use it easily (we'll need to sync
it into Github repo, but that's not a problem)

Sgtm, James, could you respin with using the include?

Thanks,
Daniel
