I agree.  For accuracy's sake, there are some exceptions; this is a
difference between linux-nat.c and linux-thread-db.c.  The latter
targets a GLIBC (and thus GNU) interface.  Although a very similar
interface is present on Solaris, and although uClibc (not a GNU
project although containing some GNU code) also implements it, the
file is primarily targeting GLIBC.

But most of our Linux support doesn't have this issue.  As you've
said, mostly we're concerned with the kernel.
