You can use the GNU tools on virtually any version of UNIX.
They are not exclusive to Linux.

So, if you need the enhancements from GNU in your work and scripts
on $PROPRIETARY_UNIX then simply install the GNU suite on it.

(I routinely install the GNU tools suite on Solaris boxen when
I need to maintain them).
