OK, I took another look.  I guess I had mistakenly looked at the
jdk13 patches instead of the jdk14 patches.

I did notice one thing:

+ * BSDNOTE: It's support for fd locking on per thread basis.  Since
+ * FreeBSD libc_r does implement it internally - do nothing here.

libc_r does not do fd locking in either -current or -stable.
The macros are present, but are disabled by default.  You'll
need to roll your own.  Plus, libkse and libthr won't be doing
this either.
