Description

Compiling this on FreeBSD results in a lot of errors along the lines of:
```
error: cannot convert value of type 'UnsafeMutablePointer' (aka 'UnsafeMutablePointer') to expected argument type 'UnsafeMutablePointer' (aka 'UnsafeMutablePointer>')
```

These look quite similar to the errors that was preventing swift-log to compile, and they were resolved in https://github.com/apple/swift-log/commit/8f634e4e682819a9aa857fca8c88ef899fb64d75
