Even if this port does not exist any more, the rule for future ports is quite
clear from the past: kfoobar-gnu systems use GNU libc, whereas foobar-gnu
systems
use another libc. "*-gnu" is a too wide wildcard when you want to test for a
system with GNU libc.
Still, this is only a guess about the future. In the end, RMS still decides
case-by-case.
