I don't think we have much in the way of OS-dependent features left - that's
an effect of writing to the POSIX/C99 standard. Looking...OK, there's seccomp,
interface scanning, presence/absence of routing sockets, and whether or not
there
is kernel PPS support. And one strange Solaris error trap. That looks like it.
I'd say 0 = unknown, 1 = tested, 2 = in regular field use.
I don't think we have a lot of interactions like that, but it's the kind of
thing that tends to be invisible until an error report lands.
