For example, Blue Gene/Q wants us to use Kernel_GetMemorySize, which
resides in a header with inline assembly.  So we need compiler flags
that support the inline assembly just to access the function.
getrusage() is useless on BG/Q and some other HPC systems.  If it works
on your system, you should think the vendor for doing something
reasonable with the useful POSIX function.
