Since the only compiler I use is gcc (and it's the only compiler
I think most people use), and gcc defines __linux, I use that.
(It defines `linux', too, but only if you don't give -ansi, which
I sometimes like to use.) Many of the changes are not
linux-specific, though. If they are POSIX-specific or simply
non-BSD specific, then using linux or __linux isn't right.
As for machtype, it doesn't look like anyone has ported it for
real yet:
$ cat /usr/local/bin/machtype
#!/bin/sh
echo linux
exit 0
