Description

see: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-SDK/issues/55

A minimum we should modify the OpenCL ICD loader so it checks for FreeBSD or Unix generically vs. just Linux, to fix build issues.

Separately we can investigate renaming some of the source files so they apply more generically to Unix vs. Linux.

Research direction

Start with the linked KhronosGroup/OpenCL-SDK issue and inspect the OpenCL ICD loader's platform checks that assume Linux. Determine the minimum change needed for FreeBSD or Unix-generic builds, then verify the loader builds on the affected platform; source-file renaming is a separate follow-up scope.
