branch: master  
OS: 10.3-STABLE FreeBSD

since bootsnap was added on May 11 when i try to

```
env GYP_DEFINES="make_clang_dir=" CXX=/usr/bin/clang++ CC=/usr/bin/clang bundle install --without development test

```

I get error

```

An error occurred while installing bootsnap (0.2.14), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install bootsnap -v '0.2.14'` succeeds before bundling.

```

I assume that it’s something similar to issue with platform triplet as mentioned in [Exceeding max allowed process count on accounts with limits when trying to `gem install libv8` · Issue #236 · rubyjs/libv8 · GitHub](https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues/236)

Before bootsnap was added I had no issues.

Note, I had not intention of breaking anything but we are going to need your help here submitting a PR to bootsnap. the xattr stuff is not needed for a lot of what it does, if it is not detected in mkmf it should just skip that part.
