Severity: normal
Unless I am misreading the code, the HAVE_FAM code is only
used as a fallback when inotify is not available.
This is still the case on non-Linux ports architectures,
but on Linux there seems to be little point in pulling
in a mostly obsolete fam/gamin library.
Note that this is orthogonal to the #981515 issue which
of fam/gamin to use.
