bug in uname on Darwin 7.8.0

[Geert Jan van Oldenborgh]

Dear Madam, Sir,
a while ago I installed the very useful coreutils on my iMac.  However, 
when I tried to upgrade my free software collection with fink it 
refused.  The reason turned out to be a bew uname from coreutils, which 
did not recognize the processor:

[srikandi] [13:13] /sw% /usr/local/bin/uname --version
uname (coreutils) 5.0

If I can do anything to help fix this bug please let me know.

That's fixed in a newer version:
