Why so? There could be a solaris cmake, an IRIX cmake, an HP-UX cmake...

All the GNU POSIX utilities are portable and have been ported on many
platforms. 

I don't know exactly where to check, but I guess that there were even VMS 
versions of GNU sed, awk and so on, and also apollo versions and so on.
