Bug 59774 – coreutils-5.2.1-r1 : 003_all_coreutils-gentoo-uname.patch is borked on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2004-08-08 08:27:38 UTC]

The defined(__x86_64__) line is borked in mentioned file.
This causes an unexpected behaviour in uname, the hardware platform doesn't show up.

I will attach robmoss's patch to come around that.

Repair the gentoo-uname patch for coreutils

[Comment 2 Jean-Michel Smith 2004-08-13 11:32:09 UTC]

I can attest to this.

On a dual opteron compiled in 32bit mode 'uname -p' yeilds: 

AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246

On the exact same hardware booted into a 64-bit environment, 'uname -p' reports the much less useful:

5

Any chance of this being fixed in the main portage tree?

i've added a fix to the ebuild, but this still needs to make it into a patch tarball

I'll add this to the tarball shortly, don't worry.

added to the patch tarball for -r2.
