Comment (by fhgwright):

 Although I haven't dug into it in detail, my impression is that this
 function is **impossible** to implement **correctly** in 10.4, since the
 capability is missing from the OS.  That means that one would have to
 choose between an "honest" implementation which always fails, and a "speak
 no evil" implementation that does nothing and reports success.  The former
 would be consistent with what cmake does when the function is unavailable,
 but I don't know about other uses.

 Either approach would be trivial to implement.
