From: Keno Fischer <keno@juliacomputing.com>
To allow VirtFS on darwin, we need to check that pthread_fchdir_np is
available, which has only been available since macOS 10.12.
Additionally, virtfs_proxy_helper is disabled on Darwin. This patch
series does not currently provide an implementation of the proxy-helper,
but this functionality could be implemented later on.

Maybe call this "macOS" in this error message as well?

Agreed — shouldn’t have omitted.
