meta-mingw builds Windows binaries from Linux and meta-darwin builds
Darwin binaries from Linux, so they're not relevant.

People *are* at least trying to use Windows Subsystem for Linux to
build Yocto on Windows, but I suspect as far as bitbake is concerned
that is Linux.  There's no practical way we can build on macOS right
now due to the recent security changes.

Builds on BSD would be interesting, I'm curious as to how much breaks
from GNU userland expectations and whether the build override is
actually useful.
