Description

The sendfile-bsd-test in sendfile's setup file compiles on OpenBSD but would not link as the sendfile symbol is not part of OpenBSD's libc.

However since the test is done with try-compile comile-only: #t the test passes where it shouldn't.

As Peter Bex noted the test fails on NetBSD which also has no sendfile function available, but this may be related to a real compilation error (missing or wrong include file etc.)

The test fails on NetBSD with this error: error: ‘NULL’ undeclared (first use in this function). I think that's because it's missing #include <stdlib.h>.

This egg no longer uses try-compile. If it's still an issue, please reopen.
