It makes sense the other way round ;-)

GNU tools do not include platform specific features. This makes them a problem
on many platforms - even on Linux. Solaris (still) has a native userland, so 
there is no problem on Solaris. As Linux has no native userland, many features 
in the Linux kernel cannot be used with the only userland available for Linux 
;-)
