In this case, headers from linux-6.1 are being used at build time.
However, the code is being run on a linux-4.19 kernel.

Gnulib doesn't support that. If you build with headers from a particular version of the operating system, you can't necessarily run on older versions. The reasons for this sort of restriction should be obvious.

If Gentoo builds are regularly targeting older kernels or libraries than the platform they are building on, then surely that's a problem in general, not just here.

I'll cc this to bug-gnulib to give them a heads-up about the issue. For gnulib readers, the original bug report is here:
