Basically, some archs (approximately the 32-bit ones) have ancient
legacy versions of the IPC structures that only support 16-bit
uid/gid, etc. musl does not support using these, and always uses the
modern structures, which requires the IPC_64 flag (0x100) when making
the syscall. I assumed this flag would be a no-op on systems where
it's not needed, but for some reason the kernel rejects it, so we have
to go to the trouble of omitting it..
