The seccomp filter's SC_DENY(__NR_statx, EACCES) rule, meant to make glibc's statx()-based fstat() fail gracefully and fall back to the legacy stat syscalls, is guarded by "#ifdef __NR_statx" and silently disappears when built against kernel headers older than 5.1. statx() then falls through to the filter's default action (SECCOMP_RET_KILL) instead, killing sshd-auth outright whenever glibc happens to take the statx() path. Same fix as the time64 syscalls: define __NR_statx here until the kernel headers get updated.
