+Description: revert upstream commit that removes use of syscall() and statx(2)
+ The commit https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/?id=b7887f9b4faad222
+ removes the use of the above mentioned syscalls. This makes Qt not able
+ to run on current stable servers under a testing/unstable VM.
+ .
+ This patch should be removed in testing/unstable after Buster gets released.
