Description:
The new toolchain in testing breaks Steam's Chromium Embedded Framework. According to this GitHub issue[0] this could also affect other applications (maybe Electron, maybe other CEF-based applications).

Additional info:
- glibc 2.35-1
- gcc 11.2.0-2
- binutils 2.38-1
- steam 1.0.0.74-1

Steps to reproduce:
- Start Steam
- Observe black CEF webview

Gentoo and Ubuntu both disable the new clone3 syscall support in glibc, to work around this issue.
