Hm, it makes sense to keep it. But nobody will remember once we raise the
support.

Also, removing HAVE_LINUX_FS_H [1] works in the CI [2], including distros with
glibc 2.36 (minimal build [3] or all cross-compile builds, e.g. [4]).

I wonder how realistic is that somebody is still affected by this issue.

Kind regards,
Petr
