The libcap commit aca076443591 ("Make cap_t operations thread safe.")
added a __u8 mutex at the beginning of the struct _cap_struct, it changes
the offset of the members in the structure that breaks the assumption
made in the "struct libcap" definition in clone3_cap_checkpoint_restore.c.
This will make the test fail. So use the capget and capset syscall
directly and remove the libcap library dependency like the
commit 663af70aabb7 ("bpf: selftests: Add helpers to directly use
the capget and capset syscall") does.

Sorry you haven't addressed my comments on your v1 yet.

I repeat that this is not the right direction to define system
calls locally.

Try this:

Run make headers in the kernel repo.
Build without making any changes.
Then add you changes and add linux/capability.h to include files

Tell me what happens.

thanks,
