Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: coreutils

got bitten by build scripts using these; apparently on other
distributions they report something else than `unknown'. these configure
scripts make wrong assumptions:

       -p, --processor
              print the processor type or "unknown"

       -i, --hardware-platform
              print the hardware platform or "unknown"

Nevertheless for less surprises it would be useful to set these values
to something else than "unknown".
