Comment(by leif):

 Replying to [comment:28 drkirkby]:
 > I  believe the {{{cp -a}}} will only be executed on Linux, so it's not a
 massive problem here, but note that is note that {{{-a}}} is not an option
 defined by POSIX, so is unportable and will break on some systems. Was
 there a good reason for using {{{-a}}}? Unless there was, it would be good
 to get into the habbit of using a more portable alternative

 {{{[ `uname -p` = "x86_64" ]}}} isn't portable either, this might give
 "unknown" even on Linux; {{{uname -m}}} should be better.

 Also, I think {{{ln -s ...}}} should be {{{ln -snf ...}}} (or at least
 {{{ln -sf ...}}}).
