Description
macOS is a Posix Compliant operating system, and lc-coreutils should ideally build on macOS.
Presently, the use of the mknodat syscall has caused CI failures. This should be looked into (Note: do not replace `*at` syscalls in lc-coreutils).
- [ ] Assess Version of Posix Compliance presented by macOS
- [ ] Assess alternatives for missing 2008 functions, particularily the `*at` syscalls
- [ ] Determine if macOS Support is viable
- [ ] Reenable if possible, otherwise remove macos CI workflows

Research direction
Start by locating the mknodat usage and the macOS CI workflows, then assess the POSIX compliance level and alternatives for missing 2008 functions without replacing the *at syscalls. Done means determining whether macOS support is viable and either re-enabling the workflows or removing them.
