confstris fine, but most of those values (e.g._CS_LFS_CFLAGS) are non-portable as far as I can tell. The only portable one is_CS_PATH.See e.g. the POSIX pages that list the standard defines: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/unistd.h.html and http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/confstr.html
In general it's not OK to have platform-conditional APIs in the
unixpackage. Typically a missing function will throw an exception (e.g.getSlaveTerminalName), or fall back to a portable version (e.g.unsetEnv). Where there are constants or symbols that need to be conditional, we use a.Extsmodule (see e.g.System.Posix.Signals.Exts).changed milestone to %7.6.2
