Thor Compilation error Mk. II

Now, I'm getting errors about posix_fadvise not being defined. This is still on my Mac.

Error message:

posix_fadvise() does not exist on OS X (looking into solutions).

My question is, how was fl-build working around this?

fl-build doesn't seem to compile all of fastlib. I've never tried to use thor on my personal machine, and when I just tried to compile it explicitly with fl-build, I got the same error.

[5507] should fix this, I put an #ifdef GLIBC around the posix_fadvise() call. That call doesn't actually make a big difference, it just advises the operating system how the opened file pointer will be used.
