I do the same, just without the build directory, but that shouldn't
matter here I guess.

I found out you can run "gcc -M <file>" and it will recursively tell you
what headers are including other headers.

Using this I found that "resctrl.h" includes <sys/mount.h> which in turn
includes <fcntl.h> out of /usr/include/sys directory. Is that also the
case on your system?
