Thank you! Patched applied on my 2.8.1 and it works now. "xz: Bad system call" doesn't occur any more.

Hi!

When I do compile man-db with enabled seccomp, man-db seems to fail for me with lots of "xz: Bad system call".

mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call
Updating index cache for path `/usr/share/man/man1'. Wait...mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call
mandb: xz: Bad system call

(Repeats very often)

Setting MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1 or recompile man-db without seccomp seems to do the job.

OS: Gentoo Linux
man-db: mandb 2.8.1
xz: xz (XZ Utils) 5.2.3, liblzma 5.2.3
