OK, digging a little deeper using the truss command it appears 
sysinfo(2) has the information.


On my Sparc machine it returns:

sysinfo(SI_ARCHITECTURE, "sparc", 257)



On my laptop (X64) it returns:

sysinfo(SI_ARCHITECTURE, "", 257)


So now the question is how do I get sysinfo to output the correct info 
(i386).
