I propose to go 8 bits, and add the check to be future-proof.
It seems that we already parse GNU/kFreeBSD brandnote. I think this
could be used to distinguish between old behaviour, that is currently
used by your libc, and proposed new interface, if __FreeBSD_version
is bumped and honored by glibc. You might need to store the brandinfo
somewhere in struct proc or use the separate struct sysentvec.
