Has someone actually used software compiled with illumos-gate-provided

Can we check, how much software is broken if we don't hide epoll(), eventfd()
and other linux-specific interfaces ? If it's not a lot, software should be
fixed. Otherwise perhaps it's better to hide linux-specific system calls
behind some guards or hide headers somewhere where they are not found by
common software...
When I compiled Dovecot on OmniOS I ended up using a configure option
to disable using these Linux emulation interfaces since they were
broken by chroot. If I configured Dovecot to not do a chroot then
they seemed to be working.
