The definition of the major() and minor() macros are moving within glibc to
<sys/sysmacros.h>. Include this header when it is available to avoid the
following sorts of build-stopping messages:
qga/commands-posix.c: In function ‘dev_major_minor’:
qga/commands-posix.c:656:13: error: In the GNU C Library, "major" is defined
by <sys/sysmacros.h>. For historical compatibility, it is
currently defined by <sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to
remove this soon. To use "major", include <sys/sysmacros.h>
directly. If you did not intend to use a system-defined macro
"major", you should undefine it after including <sys/types.h>. [-Werror]
*devmajor = major(st.st_rdev);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This backports https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/4d04351f4c3db3b70dc21f7fdc8155e341f39916 This allows us to build with modern version of glibc.
For example on my Fedora 33:
