If I recall correctly, it won't be using sendfile() on *almost all*
systems (except certain versions of BSD?).  From the porting pages:

"The build system will automatically detect the availability of epoll()
and build the corresponding cache_acceptor. It will also automatically
detect the availability of sendfile(), though its use is discouraged
(and disabled by default) due to a variety of non-Linux-specific issues."

best wishes,
