Hi!
I'm afraid that glusterfs fails to build on new architectures.  This is
caused by deprecated #include <sysctl.h>, which compiles successfully on
old architectures, but on new archs like x32, contains nothing but a #error
with an explanatory message.

The sysctl(2) syscall isn't used by glusterfs on Linux on runtime (it would
spam syslog if called), so it's safe to remove its header.  The attached
patch does this.
