-Add missing MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC
-
-Unpatched uClibc toolchains, even using the latest 0.9.33.2, do not
-have the MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC definition. Even though the Buildroot
-internal toolchain backend has a uClibc patch to provide it, it
-doesn't apply to external toolchains. This patch provides the
-definition of MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC.
