Yup. Perhaps we should consider checking for the existence of "gls" and
using that. E.g., I use the following, here:
(if (and (memq system-type '(berkeley-unix darwin))
(executable-find "gls"))
(setq insert-directory-program "gls"))
But I've only tested this on macOS so far, so I'm not sure how well this
would work on *BSD. From memory, I think it should be fine. Perhaps
Manuel can say what he thinks.

FWIW, I don't think I mind such portability fixes. It wouldn't be a bad
thing if Dired played a bit more nicely on BSD machines.
The point that this could be a slippery slope is valid, but we can also
choose to reject further tweaks on a case-by-case basis. The format of
ls is also inherently stable: many things depend on it.
On the other hand, the fix I propose above might be all that is needed
in many cases.
