See the launchpad bug (https://bugs.gentoo.org/717548): on alpha, it
prevents the use of python3 in gentoo chroot, and thus we can't use
emerge to install packages. It also impacts cmake on debian (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860553).

But it's not a regression, so up to you to reject it. It appears now
because most of the distro have switched from python2 to python3.

It's a low risk change, only in linux-user and for archs that have a
different EPOLL_CLOEXEC value.

Thanks,
Laurent
