You mean something like this

#if defined(darwin) && someversion <= something
# undef _POSIX_OPEN_MAX
# define _POSIX_OPEN_MAX fixed
#endif

I never understood why are we still getting this error-- I thought
it was bound to broken/different implementation of *stdio* in certain
platforms, and now in the shiny new era of perlio...?  Nick?

In case someone is wondering, this the pp_hot warning:

########
# pp_hot.c [pp_print]
use warnings 'io' ;
print STDIN "anc";
print <STDOUT> ;
print <STDERR> ;
open(FOO, "> &STDOUT") and print <FOO>;
print getc(STDERR);
print getc(FOO);

#read(FOO,$_,1);
no warnings 'io' ;
print STDIN "anc";
