I was reminded of this coincidentally on IRC and apparently it was never
applied, presumably because I never actually sent a proper patch.

5 years ago someone came in asking about musl on a system without
AF_UNIX support and this patch is what we came up with. It does require
access to /dev/null which might itself be a problem now that musl is
shedding filesystem requirements.
