I don't think we can make the FreeBSD case unreachable (if I understand the code correctly) since that's the one case when `::pthread_cancel` is actually getting called.

If we can make the `__ANDROID__` case unreachable, this would very easily turn into
```
#if defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__NetBSD__)
    int err = ::pthread_cancel(m_thread);
    error.SetError(err, eErrorTypePOSIX);
#else
    llvm_unreachable("Someone is calling HostThreadPosix::Cancel()");
#endif
```

I'm somewhat unfamiliar with how exactly this code is used on android. If I understand correctly, you're saying it's used in lldb-server and you meant that lldb-server is mostly single threaded so this code shouldn't get run there?
