So at this current point in time, my only solution is to have code as
follows in tiOPF:

 procedure TtiPool.CreatePoolSemaphore;
 ...
 begin
   {$ifdef windows}
    ...
   {$endif}
   {$ifdef unix}
     {$ifdef linux}
     ...
     {$endif}
     {$ifdef freebsd}
     ...
     {$endif}
     {$ifdef macosx}  // I plan to test under MacOSX soon
     ...
     {$endif}
   {$endif}
 end;

And everywhere else in the TtiPool class where sem_* methods are used.

This is just yuck!!! I hate IFDEF's. :-/
