    = note: this error originates in the macro `libc_enum` (in Nightly build)

I found this by way of updating dependency tempfile from 3.13.0 to 3.14.0, which compiles kinded_macros 0.3.0, which compiles nix 0.29.0.

I have not tried other rust versions or platform configurations.

Closing. I'm unable to reproduce this error when compiling only the nix project.

$ git clone https://github.com/nix-rust/nix.git
$ cd nix
$ rustup override set 1.72.1
$ cross --version
cross 0.2.5
[cross] note: Falling back to `cargo` on the host.
cargo 1.72.1 (103a7ff2e 2023-08-15)
$ cross check --locked --lib --bins --target x86_64-pc-solaris

I think the build failure is expected because O_DIRECT is indeed unavailable on that target, the reason why you cannot reproduce it with Nix is that Nix has feature-gates, without enabling any of them, you are building a tiny set of Nix, checking it with --all-features should give you the errors.

[SteveLauC]

The thing that makes me confused is your crate has already been using Nix 0.29.0 (tempfile does not use Nix so it should be irrelated), why didn't this build fail in the past? 🤔
