Description:
------------
Hi, I'm the maintainer of php in MacPorts, trying out php 8.1.0alpha1, and it does not compile for me on macOS 10.13.6 with Apple LLVM version 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.39.2) from Xcode 9.4.1.

./configure output includes:


checking for fdatasync... yes


However the build fails with:


main/streams/plain_wrapper.c:559:11: error: implicit declaration of function 'fdatasync' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
                        return fdatasync(fd);
                               ^
main/streams/plain_wrapper.c:559:11: warning: this function declaration is not a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
1 warning and 1 error generated.
make: *** [main/streams/plain_wrapper.lo] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....


n.b. I am using CFLAGS=-Werror=implicit-function-declaration to mimic the default behavior of Xcode 12 and later.

I can't find a macOS manpage for fdatasync. Searching around, some people think macOS does have fdatasync (it is mentioned in https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-7195.81.3/bsd/vfs/vfs_syscalls.c.auto.html for example) but just doesn't have a prototype of it in any system header, which would be a bit odd. Others suggest not trying to use fdatasync on macOS. I'm not sure what to recommend.
