+
+The macOS 13 SDK includes support for the ``mkfifoat`` and ``mknodat``
+system calls. Using the ``dir_fd`` option with either :func:`os.mkfifo` or
+:func:`os.mknod` could result in a segfault if cpython is built with the
+macOS 13 SDK but run on an earlier version of macOS. Prevent this by adding
+runtime support for detection of these system calls ("weaklinking") as is
+done for other newer syscalls on macOS.
