Ah, so the answer is that mmap-alloc and memfd conflict. But if you order the files alphabetically they probably also conflict... :-) so separating the changes in two patches would not have helped.
Michael is handling both patches so I guess he can resolve the conflict too.

(My answer: not > that I know of). so you mean that splitting over several lines isn't useful? The main reason I did it is because the line started to be long, that compatfd.o was already a seperate line, and that mmap-alloc patch actually conflicted with memfd. If it's not worth it, I guess I will just add a line below compat.o -- Marc-André Lureau
