The definitions are in buildSrc/linux.gradle

The challenge would be fixing this in a way that would not break the linux builds.

In theory, it would be possible to clone linux.gradle to bsd.gradle, fix the compile line issues in that configuration and then build with

gradle -PCOMPILE_TARGETS=bsd

With the change you have done, we would treat the platform as similar to linux, but with a configuration of bsd.
