yes, but not all of them - diffutils and egcs I would expect to be standard
on Linux.

When we revisit this for Linux, we'll change the platform message to be

ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM=	SunOS-*-* Linux-*-*

should it be needed on Linux. Explicit inclusion is much more controllable
than blanket disclusion.
