Platform Support in the rustc book
Summary
Platform Support in the rustc book does not document which versions of dragonfly are supported, the maintainers, building, and testing. According to my test DragonFly BSD 6.0 is the lowest version that I can get Rust 1.95.0 to bootstrap. The rust-std library is unable to be built for DragonFly BSD 5.8 due to the requirement of pthread_setname_np and clock_nanosleep. I haven't run the Rust testsuite yet.

Research direction
Start at the linked Platform Support section in the rustc book and verify the DragonFly BSD 6.0 bootstrap result and the DragonFly BSD 5.8 build limitation. Document supported versions, maintainers, building, and testing for *-unknown-dragonfly, including confirmed testsuite status so the page reflects what can be built and tested.
