I think this is a case that is definitely referring to platforms using the
Linux kernel and not restricted in any way to GNU/Linux platforms (so
"platforms using the Linux kernel" might be a better description in the
comment). It's a comment on tests for uClibc and Bionic, and even if you
account for some GNU code present in uClibc, Bionic is the C library for
Android which is the canonical example of a Linux system which is not
GNU/Linux (no GPL code in userspace) - the test is for whether a Linux
system is GNU/Linux or not.
