Description

When compile on ARM, it will through error.
The current code logic in src/linux/fs.cpp is:

#ifdef __NR_pivot_root
  int ret = ::syscall(__NR_pivot_root, newRoot.c_str(), putOld.c_str());
#elif __x86_64__
  // A workaround for systems that have an old glib but have a new
  // kernel. The magic number '155' is the syscall number for
  // 'pivot_root' on the x86_64 architecture, see
  // arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
  int ret = ::syscall(155, newRoot.c_str(), putOld.c_str());
#elif __powerpc__ || __ppc__ || __powerpc64__ || __ppc64__
  // A workaround for powerpc. The magic number '203' is the syscall
  // number for 'pivot_root' on the powerpc architecture, see
  // https://w3challs.com/syscalls/?arch=powerpc_64
  int ret = ::syscall(203, newRoot.c_str(), putOld.c_str());
#else
#error "pivot_root is not available"
#endif

Possible sollution is to add `unistd.h` header
