Description
It is expected that Wayland cannot build on Windows and Darwin, but BuildAll CI fails because it fails with an unexpected error message:
2023-02-26T03:06:53.4691330Z subprojects/wayland-1.20.0/meson.build:83:3: ERROR: Problem encountered: SFD_CLOEXEC is needed to compile Wayland libraries
@eli-schwartz any idea how to dodge that? IMHO if expect_working=False we should not even try on that platform, or have another flag in ci_config.json that says to not even try?

Research direction
Start with BuildAll CI and ci_config.json, then inspect the Wayland subproject failure at subprojects/wayland-1.20.0/meson.build:83. Determine how expected-failure platforms are configured and compare the current Windows and Darwin behavior. Done means BuildAll no longer reports an unexpected error for Wayland on those platforms.
