No problem :)

Indeed I just found out there is an os_stream_stdc.h that I suppose I
should use instead of the FILE* APIs.
s(n)printf is OK instead, right?
I also attempted to disabled it for Windows kernel mode, alhough it
would be nice to have some sort of PIPE_USER_MODE/PIPE_KERNEL_MODE
macro to do it more generically.
BTW, it's usually possible to write files from kernel mode too, even
though it might require substantially more effort (e.g. to buffer data
and write it with a separate thread if you can't sleep).

u_debug_symbol.c was already in util, and the rest is based on that.
That said, parts of u_debug_symbol.c would indeed be probably best
moved to an OS-specific area, since they are indeed heavily
OS-specific.
