We could use the script from /usr/share/automake/config.guess to get the
OS name, apparently to cross compilers, its what configure scripts use
to get the OS type.

So if we use config.guess and if linux is mentioned in the output we can
compile the linux specific code into libbb, does something like that
sound acceptable ?

It would be good to have a busybox hurd deb, it would help with the Hurd
installer.
