It doesn't -- Debian k/FreeBSD has __GLIBC__ and __FreeBSD_kernel__,
and not __linux__.

That should be fine, although in some cases there won't be a mapping
to a single OS if multiple macros are used.

An OS to macro map would include, for example:

FreeBSD: __FreeBSD__, __FreeBSD_kernel__
Linux distros: __linux__, __GLIBC__
kFreeBSD: __GLIBC__, __FreeBSD_kernel__

The kFreeBSD project needs to use the FreeBSD kernel's debugging
interface (e.g., the ptrace syscall and constants) and glibc's
userland interfaces (e.g., setting thread names).
