It's not Linux. Linux is bare kernel got from ftp.kernel.org or its mirror.
"Bare" means that it even doesn't contain kernel-specific tools, such as
modutils; it is unsuitable for any practice usage by itself.
Real OS is a distribution which has another name (e.g. `RedHat Linux').
Even kernel in it isn't usually bare kernel from kernel.org; especially
RedHat applies tons of patches to it, because kernel from kernel.org isn't
usable (don't flame on this here, please), changes kernel interface (adds
syscalls, etc.). And distributions are too different in many details,
not only in flat version of used software, but also in central
approach, which results in quite different building results for them
and different working. Different Linux-based OSes can't be the same OS;
binaries are generally unportable between them.
More closed to topic of the newsgroup, let's consider build tools which
names "build target" for build process. E.g. Exim and sendmail use per-target
object directory in the shared source tree or near it. If the same object
directory will be used, e.g., for RedHat 6.2 and RedHat 9.0, or for
RedHat and Debian, this will lead only to mixing of incompatible data.
The same for autotools: target i386-unknown-linux is too common to be
applicable to select building.
