>> OpenJDK will not produce SecureDirectoryStreams on MacOS. Support for SecureDirectoryStream on UNIX-like OSes is predicated on the `SUPPORTS_OPENAT` flag in UnixNativeDispatcher. That flag in turn is set when the runtime environment supports `openat`, `fstatat`, `unlinkat`, `renameat`, `futimesat`, and `fdopendir`.

While there is an indirect replacement that is supported on MacOS - `utimensat` - this is not actually needed, because the unique functionality provided by `futimesat` (that is, performing the action of `futimes` relative to an open directory file descriptor) is not utilized, since the only place this function is used passes `NULL` as the relative filename argument.
