As Phil commented, this is likely mostly tied to X11. In fact, grouping 
OSes together as "unix" fits poorly with X11, since macOS is clearly a 
unix OS in most respects, but it does not use X11. We have a bunch of 
ugly hacks in the build system to include X11 on the "unix but not 
macOS" subset. I've been annoyed by it from time to time, but not really 
come up with any better solution.
