I haven't exactly thought about that. But partially: yes. The change
that I described here (rtems-bsd-user-space.h) is thought for the
applications that we port from FreeBSD inside of the libbsd. But there
are multiple options to detect the libbsd configuration from an application:

- Due to the disabled modules some headers are not available. So a build
system that checks for example for openssl headers will see whether
openssl has been included or not.

- The generated <rtems/bsd/modules.h> is installed together with the
other headers. If an application is aware of RTEMS it can use that
header to adapt to the libbsd configuration.

OK. Thanks. I'll commit them.

Best regards
