    Description

      As of commit b7887f9b4faad2227691a2af589e9d7680d6ae08, if statx is available during the ./configure stage, it hardcodes a minimum kernel version of 4.11.0.

      This means the library can't be loaded if you're using an older version of the kernel.

      However, glibc has fallback code if statx is not available during runtime, so the minimum kernel version is not really necessary.
