   The environment variable OSTYPE has the value "linux-gnu" in single
   and multi user mode. This is surprising for a Hurd system, isn't it?
   (I am quite sure that it is The Hurd, not Linux :-). Older tar files
   had set OSTYPE=gnu.

I believe that the OSTYPE is hardcoded in bash.  I can imagine that it
is set to linux-gnu when bash is being cross-compiled.
