[OE-core] [PATCH][RFC] pseudo: intercept syscall() and return ENOTSUP for renameat2

[Richard Purdie]

Just to report back, I've tried testing an earlier version of pseudo
master with the path changes reverted and current master. With both I'm
seeing librsvg fail during do_install with a segfault (you have to
remove the 2> /dev/null to see it).

I'm seeing multiple entries in the host's dmesg:

I believe that libglib-2.0 does use syscall() for something and that
the above programs are calling into it and faulting.

Its likely possible to reproduce this outside of a build by running
make install from librsvg under pseudo.

If I take master and revert 778abd3686fb7c419e9016fdd9e93819405d52aa fr
om pseudo, it no longer segfaults.

So something is not working correctly with the intercept sadly.

Cheers,

Richard
