Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5.3
Followup-For: Bug #193170

Although #193170 has been marked FIXED, the Etch version still returns "unknown"
for "uname -p" - both on a 32bit i686 "uname -m" and a 64bit x86_64.
Recent Globus (www.globus.org) build scripts check for the output of "uname -p"
(or Python's platform.processor() which is based on that value) to determine
the platform the build is intented for, resulting in an incorrect build (mixed
32/64 bit or failure).
While replacing "uname -p" with "uname -m" and "platform.processor()" with
"platform.machine()" would be a workaround, this is not suitable if the Globus
build is embedded in another bigger environment (like VDT, vdt.cs.wisc.edu).
