it basically boils down to what is more likely to be used as a condition
in project files. linux including or excluding android? this leads to
the two options:

linux|android: FOO = bar    # decided on userspace, but kernel matters

and

linux:!android: BAZ = knolf    # decided on kernel, but userspace matters

note that i'm using the new platform scopes instead of the spec name
matching. which scopes should be defined is part of the same decision.
the assumption so far was "android linux unix posix". but follwing your
argumentation, one has to wonder whether it's even unix? maybe it's only
"android posix"? (no, not really. "android unix posix" at least).
