On WSL, “uname -s" will print Linux, however one can distinguish between WSL 
and “true” Linux by “uname -r" containing Microsoft.  However, in WSL we can 
build both a WSL Linux target, or a WSL Windows target, which means we have to 
either check the JDK-under-test (check if it is a Windows or Linux JDK) or have 
some environment variable to indicate such.

I think it is only natural to expect folks to debug shell tests directly. If we 
accept this assumption, then, is there any reasonable alternative to “uname"? 
There is a “systeminfo” tool on windows, not sure if it helps. We really need 
to know what “uname -s” outputs, though, as it might still work.

It would help if we could crowd-source a table showing the value on different 
systems.
