There is no sysinfo.h for MacOS. I can help determine what the MacOS equivalent 
is, but need someone to give me some hints.

Ben,

On a Linux system the file is at /usr/include/sys/sysinfo.h.
Unfortunately, it seems to be very Linux-specific.  According to 'man
sysinfo' I get

NAME
        sysinfo - returns information on overall system statistics

SYNOPSIS
        #include<sys/sysinfo.h>

        int sysinfo(struct sysinfo *info);

...

CONFORMING TO
        This function is Linux-specific, and should not be used in programs
intended to be portable.


This is sort of a drag as the whole point was to have access to the
underlying gnulib module which should be portable.  The documentation from
gnulib is here:
http://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/gnulib/get_005fnprocs.html.  I don't
really understand it.  It might be saying that it doesn't provide portable
implementations for MacOS and a host of other platforms.  If this is the
case, I'm not sure why it needs to be in gnulib.  We can revert the change
if gnulib does not in fact offer any portable versions for non-Linux platforms.

--Rik
I just wanted to add that on MinGW the current tip does also not compile, due to the same error. So we can either revert this change or compile this function conditionally when sys/sysinfo.h is available.
