Nor is the presence of a binary any guarantee that binary will work in the
absence of the BSD subsystem. Certainly one can write a Perl script that
wouldn't work. You may or may not be able to get Terminal to work
usefully. The Mac OS X GUI may or may not work usefully.
Testing a system without BSD Subsystem remains the best way to sample what
doesn't work. I'm expecting you will find that enough doesn't work that
systems without BSD Subsystem aren't an issue.
