Hello all,

I'm trying to resolve this issue. I'm setting up FreeBSD 11 on a VirtualBox 
instance now to see if I can resolve the problems. Hopefully this covers OSX 
indirectly as well.

I don't expect that moving the offending system calls into Linux specific files 
will resolve the problem where the underlying host OS needs to make the system 
call on behalf of the target (like what happens with fallocate). I think the 
only way to resolve the issue is to add in preprocessor directives to prevent 
compilation/linkage errors on platforms that don't support what's necessary 
under the covers. (Correct me if there's a better way to handle this.)

I'll post a patch and respond to the mailing list when I have it working.

Regards,
Brandon

Hi all,

While I agree about the end goal (test every commit on every platform) I would 
suggest we go about this one step at a time. The likelihood of breakage is only 
high for anything related to syscall emulation, so it really only affects a 
small part of the developer community. Agreed?

With that in mind I think we can prevent 99% of the issues if syscall emulation 
patches are built on a BSD system with clang. I would be wrong, but I would 
think this is a very good filter, with a fairly low cost and effort of 
deployment. Virtualbox + some flavour of BSD would do it.
