I would argue that not all of these are linux specific, but
yes they are platform specific. Ok maybe a couple are linux
specific, but the JPEG,ICONV,XML2, & PERL ones could (maybe not
are) be used for any platform.
I would also like to add
ABI_REQUIRE_PEER_LIBPNG
to your list (similar purpose as ICONV one), though they are
not so much [1,0] as defined or undefined.

The ABI_BUILD_VERSION one is cross platform
the others are probably platform (Unix) specific.?

I believe so, but I'm not sure if the two UNIX_CAN_BUILD_* ones actually
have an effect on all platforms.

Additionally there are:
ABI_OPT_CYGWIN_UNIX (cywin/gcc/gtk instead of native windows build)
I don't know if it works though (also uses ifdef test)
ABI_OPT_PROF=[1,0] for profiling flags I think
ABI_OPT_WAY_TOO_MANY_WARNINGS=[1,0] ??? linux one to disable some warnings???
These are used, but generally should be left unset so they are auto set.
OS_NAME
OS_RELEASE
ABISOURCE_LICENSED_TRADEMARKS
My information is mostly based on glancing through config/abi_defs.mk and
the Linux/Win32/DOS ones in config/require/ and config/platforms/ so
may not be totally accurate.
