I think you can do static here?

You execl(), but then print stuff after that? Might also be worth
switching to execlp().

A style point, but I find it's best not to do resource allocation in
variable declarations like this. It breaks up the usual pattern of:

ret = -ENOMEM;
resource = allocate();
if (allocation_failed(resource))
goto err;

...

out:
free(resource);
err:
return ret;

You're not closing this fd on every path (they all exit [for now :D]
so it's probably ok), but it might be nice to make this match a more
regular pattern.

Might be worth checking errno == EPERM here too (which according to
the man page is the error for "epoll not supported", which is weird
:).

I think this can be static too.

Another static I think?
