I'm getting a "fatal error: unsupported CPU" on my Via C7 Esther 
processor-based machine running a brand new installation of Slackware 
13.0.  valgrind-3.1.0 ran just fine on the machine before the upgrade.

This is a fresh installation; I wiped the hard disk prior to the 
upgrade.  I have not yet rebuilt the kernel - I'm using the default SMP 
kernel from the Slackware 13.0 installation DVD.  I could build a custom 
kernel for the Via CPU if that would help, but I'm guessing that the 
problem comes from uname.

Snippets from the two config.log files follow.

Under Slackware 13.0:

## --------- ##
## Platform. ##
## --------- ##

hostname = sojourner
uname -m = i686
uname -r = 2.6.29.6-smp
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #2 SMP Mon Aug 17 00:52:54 CDT 2009

/usr/bin/uname -p = VIA Esther processor 1200MHz
/bin/uname -X     = unknown

/bin/arch              = i686

Under Slackware 11.0:

## --------- ##
## Platform. ##
## --------- ##

hostname = sojourner
uname -m = i686
uname -r = 2.6.17.13
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 Thu Feb 1 10:50:30 PST 2007

/usr/bin/uname -p = i686
/bin/uname -X     = unknown

/bin/arch              = i686

(end of snippets)

"uname --all" under Slackware 11.0 returns:

Linux mariner 2.6.17.13 #5 Fri Dec 29 19:31:36 PST 2006 i686 i686 i386 
GNU/Linux

"uname --all" under Slackware 13.0 returns this mouthful:

Linux sojourner 2.6.29.6-smp #2 SMP Mon Aug 17 00:52:54 CDT 2009 i686 
VIA Esther processor 1200MHz CentaurHauls GNU/Linux

sojourner is the guinea pig for the production machine (mariner), which 
is still running Slackware 11.0 and valgrind 3.1.0.  I could try 
installing 3.5.0 on the production machine (which doesn't see all that 
much development work anyway), but I'd like to see if anyone has any 
ideas first.  (FWIW, I built 3.5.0 under Slackware 11.0 without 
installing but can't get ./coregrind/valgrind to tell me anything - it 
can't find memcheck.)

I'm a new subscriber, so initially it might be best to reply both to my 
E-mail address and the list.

Thanks in advance.
