Comment:
This has a portability bug. 'uname' will will called with the '-p' option
on any non-Linux system. But '-p' is not a POSIX option for uname.
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/uname.html
so there is no reason any system should support the -p option. If you need
to test the processor type, make sure the test is only done on platforms
where you know the -p option is supported. HP-UX is one platform where
this will fail, and I expect there are others too.
{{{
$ uname -a
HP-UX hpbox B.11.11 U 9000/785 2016698240 unlimited-user license
$ uname -p
uname: illegal option -- p
usage: uname [-amnrsvil] [-S nodename]
