pledge() itself serves as good annotation of the subsets of POSIX
used by a program, one option to avoid the #ifdef pollution is to
detect if it's available first, otherwise:

        CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -D\"pledge(promises,paths)=0\""

Or similarly, in some header:

        #define pledge(promises,paths) 0
