Hmm, well let me think... GNUstep is a volunteer project, so in general...

... maybe when someone offers a patch which implements an alternative 
which is more portable without breaking the ones that work and that is 
remotely maintainable?  ;-)

But in this particular case I thought we already have quite a bit if 
machinery in place in config/procfs.m4 and config/procfs-exe-link.m4
with HAVE_KVM_ENV and HAVE_PROCFS code in NSProcessInfo in particular 
for FreeBSD.  So which dependency specifically are you referring too? 
Could you give us a pointer to the bug report, please?
