Currently, on Darwin/PPC, the value that gets assigned to `cpuname` by the
time ''lib/Parrot/Config/Generated.pm'' is written is: `ppc`.
Here's what I get for relevant variations on `uname`:
{{{
[jimk] 501 $ uname -m
Power Macintosh
[jimk] 502 $ uname -p
powerpc
}}}
So we'd have to provide some mapping to get back to `ppc`. That wouldn't
be very difficult.
dukeleto: What do you get on Darwin/i386 for this?
And what does anybody on a 64-bit Mac get?
Thanks.
