Can you fix the failed CI build error?

Apparently, the FreeBSD macro is also activated for the ORBIS builds, which I did not anticipate. I'll try a few things and will squash the commits if the pipeline reports success.

I've fixed the PS4/ORBIS CI build and squashed all the commits.

Is there any chance we could get a FreeBSD amd64 CI runner?

We will need to add Cirrus CI or Travis CI ?

We have Travis but it will need some update to make it work again (was used for coverity scan IIRC).

I'd go with Travis if you already got it. But there is no hurry. It would be nice to have.

Hi @gouchi, I was wondering if we might have an opportunity to merge this while it's conflict-free? Also, if you think it would be helpful, I'm more than willing to open a separate issue to discuss the pipeline in more detail. Please let me know your thoughts or if there's anything else I can do to assist. Thanks so much for your time and efforts!

[gouchi]

@ehaupt Sure we can discuss the pipeline in more detail to a separate issue to enable FreeBSD CI test.

@LibretroAdmin CI build error has been fixed.

I tested on FreeBSD 14.1 and I confirm that the patches are needed to compile RA.

git clone https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch.git
cd RetroArch
git fetch origin pull/16221/head:pr16221
git checkout pr16221
./configure && gmake -j$(nproc)

If needed configure and gmake ouput.

Without it you got this error.

@LibretroAdmin This PR should be good to be merged. Thank you.

P.S = I had to disable Discord otherwise you got linking issue but it is not related to this PR and it is also disable on FreeBSD.

Any chance this could be merged?
