Hi all,

Quick question: why do we use "uname -i" to detect the architecture in the 
top-level Makefile? it does not work on my Debian machine (the option -i is 
not supported by the uname version installed with sarge), only "uname -m" 
works.
The man page for uname on FC5 says:
       -m, --machine
              print the machine hardware name
       -i, --hardware-platform
              print the hardware platform or "unknown"

So "uname -i" may not give the correct information but uname -m must work in 
all cases.

Can we use "uname -m" instead of "uname -i"?

Thanks,
-- 
Geoff
