+From f48b5fd8ab03c200eaf5e3a9b03bcd01b2659cf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix compilation on toolchain without prlimit
+
+Some toolchains which are not bionic like uclibc does not support
+prlimit or prlimit64. In this case, return an error.
+Moreover, if prlimit64 is available, use lxc implementation of prlimit.
