It is used when you have non-portable code that contains
Linux-specific
things, but you don't want to upload the code to a buildserver
just to
do semantic analysis.

There's no need to cull the list when some else *is* doing the
work. The point is that LDC and probably GDC are already pretty
close to fully supporting supporting cross-compilation and
putting arbitrary limitations in the front-end, just because it
is not an urgent goal for dmd is counter-productive for both
compilers.
