+Subject: [PATCH] os_posix: Use __FreeBSD__ to control secure_getenv definition
+
+__USE_GNU does not cover all Linux platforms, e.g. when using musl as C
+library, __USE_GNU may not be defined but it does provide secure_getenv
+so instead of narrowing the else condition, lets speicifically check for
+FreeBSD being the platform, since that seems to be the intention here
+anyway
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/pmem/pmdk/pull/3999]
