libxshmfence 1.2-1 fails to build with glibc 2.27 (2.27-0experimental0 from
experimental):

A full build logs is available there:

glibc 2.27 added support for memfd_create. libxshmfence correctly
detects in its configure script the availability of this function and
consequently disables its own syscall wrapper. Unfortunately this is
not enough as memfd_create as a GNU extension and thus needs to be built
with _GNU_SOURCE.
The problem has been fixed in upstream commit 0b550a4e. I have also
attached it as a patch to this mail.

+Subject: configure.ac: call AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
+
+With glibc 2.27 memfd_create() is inside a _GNU_SOURCE guard, so call
+AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS to get this defined.
