1353	posix-semaphore egg won't build on OS X: uses deprecated API	Norman Gray	dleslie	"Building the posix-semaphore egg fails on OS X, as it uses a deprecated API; see the log below.

This is on OS X 10.11.6, with its associated version of clang (Apple LLVM version 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1)).

It appears to be only the support for unnamed semaphores (which are apparently optional in POSIX) that's deprecated; the support for named ones seems to be present.

There's a StackOverflow discussion about the deprecation at (1) below, which points to some fairly authoritative discussion, including why the deprecation exists, at (2).
