Isn't BSD quite similar to Linux? I highly doubt it has any of the legacy platform features they specifically call out as problematic:

"Byte sizes other than 8-bits, or non-power-of-two word sizes

Source code encodings other than UTF-8

Big- or mixed-endian (at least for computation; accessing encoded data remains useful)

Non-2’s-complement integer formats (we supported C++20 dropping support for this)

Non-IEEE 754 floating point format as default floating point types

Source code in file systems that don’t support file extensions or nested directories"
