Mark,

Thanks for the careful debugging of the problem.  I can offer a bit more
information.

Fink actually determines the uname values by running the script
/sw/lib/fink/update/config.guess .  I can't quite work out what environment
variables are supposed to be in effect when that script is called, but
the script certainly calls "uname" rather than "/usr/bin/uname" and so
if the $PATH is wrong at that point, things might go astray.

It is indeed ironic that the GNU version of uname doesn't work here,
particularly since config.guess also comes from a GNU product, namely libtool
:)  One or the other of these needs fixing!
