Yes: uname -p should return something meaningfull.

Yes Riley, i am well aware of this behaviour, now here is what i get on
non-Linux systems:

"-m" "-p"

PC running NetBSD 1.3 i386 (error)
RS6000 running AIX 4.3 003500271800 (error)
Alpha running Digital Unix 4.0B alpha alpha
SUN running Solaris 2.5.1 sun4u sparc
SGI running Irix 6.2 IP25 mips
HP9000 running HP/UX 10.20 9000/735 (error)

Looks like i got it the wrong way round: "-m" should have the specific
architecture and "-p" the generic processor family... Need to check the
manuals how it should be, please stay tuned...

Yours,
Dominik Kubla
