There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks, this looks good, it's nice and simple.
This commit adds support for more recent versions of FreeBSD to the _libc module. FreeBSD bumped up the major version of its libc library around 14.1-RELEASE, and the _libc module wasn't updated to keep track of this change. The current version of FreeBSD at the time of this commit is 15.0-RELEASE, so this change should unlock support for two major versions of the OS in question. This change might also work with other BSD-derived OSes, but it wasn't tested on those systems. This partially fixes micropython#962. Signed-off-by: Alessandro Gatti <a.gatti@frob.it>

Actually, I don't think this fixes that issue, which refers to Note that |

Summary
This PR adds support for more recent versions of FreeBSD to the _libc module.
FreeBSD bumped up the major version of its libc library around 14.1-RELEASE, and the _libc module wasn't updated to keep track of this change. The current version of FreeBSD at the time of this commit is 15.0-RELEASE, so this change should unlock support for two major versions of the OS in question.
This change might also work with other BSD-derived OSes, but it wasn't tested on those systems.
This fixes #962.
Testing
The changes were tested on a FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE VM, making sure libc was actually opened correctly.
Trade-offs and Alternatives
There is a minor size increase due to the new library name, which could be cancelled by deprecating support for anything before 14.0-RELEASE.
