Would it be possible to modify FreeBSD to enable it by default? Or is there a 
reason to not enable it by default?

Which patch? https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221700#c3 or 
something else?

No need to make closefrom test conditional depending on the platform. We have 
plently of tests which are platform specific but run on all platforms.

It's common that a function is first available on a single platform, but then 
available on more platforms.

It seems like closefrom() is available on:

* FreeBSD
* NetBSD: https://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?closefrom++NetBSD-current
* OpenBSD: https://man.openbsd.org/closefrom.2
* Solaris: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/816-5168/closefrom-3c.html
