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.
