Description

03:46:16 - ./.libs/libmesos.so: undefined reference to `gnu_dev_minor(unsigned long long)'
03:46:16 - ./.libs/libmesos.so: undefined reference to `gnu_dev_major(unsigned long long)'

This is caused by the change in MESOS-7365.

Including <sys/sysmacros.h> directly works on modern systems, but on our older version of glibc, the <sys/sysmacros.h> header does not contain C++ decls. This means that the inline symbols get C++ name mangling applied and they don't get found at link time.
