The manual contains some notes:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Target-Platforms.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Supported-Platforms.html
However I think it refers to platforms on which you would build the
tarball, not the platform you would do development on. The best we have
for the latter is this one:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/DEPENDENCIES
Ironically, it does not mention 'join' but mention a lot of other tools.
However I think these lists often become outdated. In my view, to claim
that a platform is supported by a software project, you should have
continous building for the platform. Otherwise support is reactive and
tends to be spurious.
