I don't know Peter's exact intention either, but AFAICT it is about the few
quirks in osdep.h:


/* Older versions of C++ don't get definitions of various macros from
 * stdlib.h unless we define these macros before first inclusion of
 * that system header.
 */
#ifndef __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS
#define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS
#endif
#ifndef __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
#endif
#ifndef __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS
#define __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS
#endif

/* The following block of code temporarily renames the daemon() function so the
 * compiler does not see the warning associated with it in stdlib.h on OSX
 */
#ifdef __APPLE__
#define daemon qemu_fake_daemon_function
#include <stdlib.h>
#undef daemon
extern int daemon(int, int);
#endif

/* Mac OSX has a <stdint.h> bug that incorrectly defines SIZE_MAX with
 * the wrong type. Our replacement isn't usable in preprocessor
 * expressions, but it is sufficient for our needs. */
#if defined(HAVE_BROKEN_SIZE_MAX) && HAVE_BROKEN_SIZE_MAX
#undef SIZE_MAX
#define SIZE_MAX ((size_t)-1)
#endif
