Just to be clear, this is about code that's not appropriate to guard with
PLATFORM(COCOA)?

Yes, this configuration is supported by the GTK port through the MacPorts
project. Jeremy Huddleston regularly upstreams modifications to properly
support building the GTK port on Darwin.

Jeremy would probably be the best candidate to exactly tell you whether the
new code is viable to use for the GTK port on Darwin.
