I don't know, but a Unix based OS without a full sem_t is
like a French typewriter without accented characters, so I
guess it has been reported by now.

Probably for Apple it's not a bug but a feature, and it may
be one designed to discourage porting of non-Apple software
to OSX.

Anyway OSX users should complain about this.
