I had one use case for this: LLDB's test suite includes a test for the
debugger handling failure from ptrace(PT_ATTACH, ...), and the test
used the Linux/OS X version of the change under discussion.

As it turns out that case can be easily tested by just having another
ptrace consumer already attached, and the author of the test in LLDB
switched to that approach instead.
