Have you verified this? From what Ryan Schmidt wrote, I understood that it
would be a weakly bound symbol. (But how to test whether the symbol is
actually present at runtime, then?)

What solution can you offer so that
  - in < 10.5, we have no error,
  - in >= 10.5, proc_pidinfo gets used?

Yes, this is not what we want, because then get_ppid_of would be a dummy that 
always fails.
