Well, this is the problem that we knew existed and can't fix quickly.
If I'm reading http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/V2_chap02.html
correctly, we can't introduce new sysconf constants unilaterally
(there is no license to define system-specific _SC_* symbols).

I wonder if this test passes if you run it with LD_BIND_NOW=t in the
environment.  Forcing -z now for these tests might be the best we can
do for 2.29.
