Hi, http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1990 proposes to have LFS use the same uname patch for Coreutils that HLFS uses. Note also that CLFS uses another version of the uname code that adds outputs for more architectures still.
Given that all 3 books use different patches, it serves a purely cosmetic purpose (as far as I know), and upstream will not entertain the patch at all in its current form, I'd like to drop it. As the ticket mentions, the correct way to implement this, according to upstream, is to have the kernel make the processor type available via a syscall. Thoughts, comments?
