Thanks for reporting that. I installed the attached two patches into Gnulib. The
first should fix the bug; the second fixes a couple of typos I noticed while
fixing the bug.

Hi, Gnulib maintainers,
I'm working with GNU Octave and we're having an issue with mkfifo in
Gnulib. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?55273
When we configure and build Gnulib on macOS, it builds the mkfifo()
replacement function that just returns an ENOSYS error, even though
mkfifo
