Did you mean gnu/windows? -rms :)

  It's actually gnu/nt. WSL completely bypasses the windows APIs and talks to the kernel directly, AFAIU.

    That's because Dave Cutler (of DEC VMS fame) specifically designed the NT kernel to make it easy to add new ABIs. NT originally supported running Win32, OS/2, and POSIX executables. Now apparently they added Linux executables.
