Well, "uname -m" isn't exactly useful on Mac OS X, unfortunately.  What you
get on Mac OS X is this...

[Thorstens-Computer:~] thorsten% uname -m
Power Macintosh
[Thorstens-Computer:~] thorsten%

However, "uname -p" returns useful and correct information that is portable,
but I have no clue how/if to use it in configure scripts (because I know
nothing about configure scripts)...

[Thorstens-Computer:~] thorsten% uname -p
powerpc
[Thorstens-Computer:~] thorsten%


    Thorsten
