-#TODO missing script for building, see https://github.com/facebook/zstd#build-instructions
+#TODO waiting for openat implementation, building without openat fails
+#NOTE although project supports building without openat, but the corresponding #if check
+# checks for the presence of st_mtime, and if it exists it falsely assumes that AT_FDCWD is supported too
+# for more info see starting from programs/util.c line 262: #if (PLATFORM_POSIX_VERSION >= 200809L) && defined(st_mtime)
