The Netatalk page on SourceForge claims "Operating System: Linux".

The old Netatalk Makefiles were dumped in favour of a GNU
automake/autoconf based system that, so far, has not really lived up
to its promise of being "a little bit more cross-platform and easier
to maintain".

I understand the writing on the wall as "we are cross-platform - as
long as you have at least half of GNU world installed on your system".

Then again, Netatalk is user-maintained...
