+Older seccomp-based filters used in container frameworks will block faccessat2
+calls as it's a relatively new syscall.  This isn't a big problem with
+glibc <2.33 but 2.33 will call faccessat2 itself, get EPERM, and thenn be confused
+about what to do as EPERM isn't an expected error code.
+
+This manifests itself as mysterious errors, for example a kernel failing to link.
+
+The root cause of bad seccomp filters is mostly fixed (systemd 247, Docker 20.10.0)
+but we can't expect everyone to upgrade, so add a workaound (originally from 
+Red Hat) to handle EPERM like ENOSYS and fallback to faccessat().
