Actually --without-threads builds work on FreeBSD, but there’s a known
problem in the tracker about threading there.

I see the Darwin machines at hydra.nixos.org are currently down, I’ll
ping the admins (Darwin builds have been fairly reliable over the
years.)

I admit that Solaris and Cygwin are more problematic, though I did some
work in the past to help with those.

I tend to agree.  This is typically where ltdl is supposed to help.
