BSDI supports getc_unlocked() at least since BSDI 3.1. I don't have any
older boxes to check, but the manpage for getc and all its friends carries
the timestamp 'June 4, 1993', which implies it could have been available a
lot longer. (Note that BSD was once known to *define* the standard ;-)

I concur that FreeBSD does not currently support getc_unlocked, but since
BSDI and FreeBSD are merging, I suspect it will, soonish.

In other words: use it! :)
