On macOS, getline() sets ENOTTY to errno if it is requested to read
from /dev/null.

If this is worth fixing, I would rather pass an empty file to
scripts/kallsyms instead of adding the ugly #ifdef __APPLE__.

Fixes: c442db3f49f2 ("kbuild: remove PROVIDE() for kallsyms symbols")

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240807-macos-build-support-v1-12-4cd1ded85694@samsung.com/

Thanks!  I definitely support moving special MacOS support from source 
code into scripts and Makefiles.

Might you want to add a comment to truncate, to prevent accidental 
attempts to revert/refactor this?

This looks nicer. Thanks for a quick alternative!

I prefer self explained commands and use the larger argument if available:
	truncate --size=0 .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.syms

But other than that, LGTM.
