+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] meson: unify linux/stat.h check with other checks and use
+ _GNU_SOURCE
+
+Using _GNU_SOURCE is better because that's how we include the headers in the
+actual build, and some headers define different stuff when it is defined.
+sys/stat.h for example defines 'struct statx' conditionally.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] meson: remove false check for key_serial_t
+
+key_serial_t is defined in keyutil.h, which wasn't included in the header list
+in the test, so the test always failed. We were always compiling stuff with
+!HAVE_KEY_SERIAL_T.
+
+We could try to add keyutil.h to the test, but then we'd have to first check if
+it is available, which just doesn't seem worth the trouble.
+
+key_serial_t should always be defined as int32_t. Let's keep the uncoditional
+define, since repeated compatible typedefs are not a problem, and it allows us
+to compile even if the header file is missing. If there's ever a change in the
+definition, we'll have to adjust the code for the different type anyway, and
+our compiler will tell us.
