Correction, those are not available on illumos, either never been accepted or reverted ; most likely the former. As for solaris, only 11.4 supports these and 11.3 is supported until 2027. Might be best to keep the situation as is, if the solaris user really wants to use the native versions, it can always be declared easily, ie no need to map complicated struct or anything. Just my 2c :)

Oh that's interesting, thanks for the context. Hm, I'm not sure what to do here in that case - this is about the only case of polyfill in this crate and ideally we wouldn't have any. I guess maybe we can remove these with 1.0.

Doing so would break us (illumos) in the nix crate, for which they were added. In the fullness of time, I do hope/expect we'll add implementations to our native libc, but even once that happens, it will be some time until we can expect downstream distros to have it rolled out to a suitable cross section of the user base.
