BROKEN_ON_PLATFORM sets PKG_FAIL_REASON.
NOT_FOR_PLATFORM sets PKG_SKIP_REASON.

The intended distinction (for years now) is that packages that will
never work and it doesn't make sense to think about, like Cocoa
bindings on Linux, should be silently skipped, and ones that don't
work but at some level should be fixed, like things that segfault on
LP64, should fail overtly.

Someday pbulk will actually take this into account when generating
reports. :-/

This one sounds BROKEN.
