The change at r242519 does not seem to be Linux-specific;

ISTM that, rather than skipping the tests for non-Linux, they should be
extended to cover a reasonable number of other cases? e.g. what about
bare-metal targets?

However, I guess skipping is better than an apparent pass that actually does
nothing.

It's on the (very long) TDOD, to examine the output for Darwin and derive
appropriate scans.
