Why can't we just do that? I mean, do we have any concrete reason to think that it'll block a supported platform? I'm personally willing to test/validate on the full set of non-Linux Unixen and write up the install instructions to help eg build farm animal owners adjust. Really this is mostly about libffi, which is super widely ported, and it is required by Python which we already soft-depend on, and will hard-depend on if we drop autoconf. The rest is presumably just Perl xs glue to drive it, which, if it doesn't work on some niche platform, you'd think should be easy enough to fix...
