If more people report this, there is still something Python could do:

- the configure test could verify that the running kernel actually implements the system call, and undefine HAVE_PIPE2 if that's not the case. Of course this would only help if the resulting binary only ever runs on the same system, and if the kernel is only ever upgraded.
- the test could be deferred to run-time, having subprocess_cloexec_pipe fall back to the pipe()/fcntl() branch if the system call fails with ENOSYS.
