While updating the gettext package, which now has build-depends

noticed the [linux-any] restrictions in debian/control.

Are those restrictions really needed?

IIRC they were for kfreebsd.
Apparently the packages do exist for all architectures,
including the Hurd:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=acl
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=attr

so if they are not usable, I'd like to know.

I don't know what happens if they're enabled on hurd (which I think is now the only platform affected?) If someone reports that coreutils works does something useful built that way on hurd I'm happy to make the change.
