and indeed I believe you've identified the problem; syslog-ng can't
reasonably work around limitations of the libraries it's built on,
it just needs to be type-correct to take advantage of more capable
libraries as they become available.

Understood; we're just suggesting that this criticism doesn't apply
to syslog-ng, but perhaps to some other component on which it
depends, which has a limitation on the platform you're using.
