So, if the package configury sets HAVE_FUNCTION_FOO when the system says
ENOSYS the package configury is broken and needs fixed anyway.
But ENOSYS is only returned on systems not *running* cygserver. If
cygserver runs during the configure process, the configury is perfectly
happy. You're missing the fact that the developers system is not
necessaily in the same state as the users system.
(I feel like a mediator here)
I think Earnie is saying that well-written code would notice the ENOSYS
error and use alternative solutions at run time.
