Mac code signing needs the machine id?

https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/801e475c72b3573a91e0fb4c...

Why then is the unique machine id collected on Linux?

This is dead code from before Bun 1.0. This code exists but is not run and probably stripped from the final executable (Zig is great at dead code elimination). We do get the Linux kernel version to detect if syscalls like pidfd_open are supported and enable fast paths.
