Are there multiple flavors of the GNU tools?
I think that the BSD tools have different flavors, for example the BSD ls tool is not the same tool on FreeBSD and OpenBSD and NetBSD (and even on macOS).
Note that by "different flavors" I mean that they work in a different way (for example: the BSD ls tool on FreeBSD may accept the -A flag, while it may not accept the -A flag on OpenBSD).
But are there multiple flavors of the GNU tools also? for example do the GNU ls and GNU bash and GNU nano tools work exactly the same on all operating systems?
