Sounds like iOS doesn't support SysV semaphores. That's unfortunate. I 
was hoping we could forget about the POSIX semaphore code but apparently 
we can't. I suggest you look back through the git history and revert the 
commit that removed the POSIX semaphore code in your build.

LMDB on iOS is pretty limited already; iOS only supports 2GB of address 
space even on the 64 bit builds. Apple's quite dishonest here, 
advertising 64 bit support but not actually delivering any of the 
advantages of it.
