 > Should this be added to our legacy support library instead?

 The C files, that might be a splendid idea. This way a few ports could use
 a uniform legacy support instead of individual solutions for unnamed
 (therefore safer?) semaphores. **My** wish is that `npth` is enhanced soon
 that `GnuPG 2` can be used on older systems. As I mention in #61115 there
 can be a number of users that have installed `GnuPG 2` and have now an
 unusable software. I found this by trying to use `GnuPG 2` – and it failed
 completely and I did not understand why. It took a long time until I found
 this explanatory ticket…
