The FreeBSD version can be detected at runtime, and different code

Sure, but you can't actually compile different code based on the FreeBSD
version, and if a type or function API changes, then that doesn't work.
Wouldn't you get a linker error for the stuff that isn't actually defined on
the C side of things? If so, then you can't really provide both the old and
new versions of a function or type and switch between code that uses one or
the other based on the version of the OS at runtime. You'd have to be able
to have the source code differ depending on the FreeBSD version.
I know in Windows the imports can be dynamically loaded at runtime.
