lxc needs a glibc with the signalfd definition. AFAICS, the first
definition appeared in the 2.7 version.
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/signalfd.h?cvsroot=glibc
But maybe a more recent version is better.
I will try next time to break this dependency, either if I love this
syscall :)
