I see some efforts in this direction, for example,
commit dd2a3acaecd7abb2d43b09a823cf2e4c967fa2ac Author: Andreas Bießmann <andreas@biessmann.de> Date: Fri Feb 24 08:23:53 2012 +0100
mod/file2alias: make modpost compile on darwin again
I do not mind a small amount of code addition. It may be broken from time to time because there are less number of developers testing kernel builds on macOS.
