Thanks, that's good news. I wonder why libkvm-dev was added as
build-dependency during the initial GNU/kFreeBSD support (#267889).
Probably the kernel+system was less capable 5 years ago, and it was
actually needed.

Yes. Because such a change is a bit risky at this point of the release
preparation, please do the following:
1. Check if there are any compilation warnings for
Source/NSProcessInfo.m
2. Run some non-trivial apps (cenon.app, gworkspace.app,
cynthiune.app) and see if you can spot some bugs (except the
usual ones, I mean :-)).
3. Compile and run the attached test program. As far as I can see
from the code, -[NSProcessInfo operatingSystemName] will issue a
warning and return the incorrect GSGNULinuxOperatingSystem.
That's completely harmless (and not a regression); I'll fix it
directly upstream when I get a chance to resurrect my
GNU/kFreeBSD machine. All tests should pass, otherwise we need
to investigate more.
Thanks!
