Re: [patch/rfc] implement memmem() locally in kallsyms.c

This patch basically copies the gnulib version of memmem() into
scripts/kallsyms.c.  While a useful function, it isn't in POSIX so some
systems (like Darwin) choose to omit it.  How do others feel ?

Do people actually build Linux kernels on Darwin & *BSD systems? If
they do then why?

What I'm getting at is; why do we care if it will build there?
