+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] syscall_wrappers: rename internal memfd_create to
+ memfd_create_lxc
+
+In case the internal memfd_create has to be used, make sure we don't
+clash with the already existing memfd_create function from glibc.
+
+This can happen if this glibc function is a stub. In this case, at
+./configure time, the test for this function will return false, however
+the declaration of that function is still available. This leads to
+compilation errors.
+
