I think this one needs to be utsname()->machine.
Currently it doesn't matter.  But Herbert has expressed
the desire to make a machine appear like an older one.

This is extremely useful for faking it as "i386" on x86_64 systems, for
instance.
Could 'setarch' be of any help here? Works fine for us. Or am I missing something?
