$ uname -pi

$ rpm -qf /bin/uname

I expected useful output for my athlon.

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-08-29 19:34:46 UTC 
uname uses the sysinfo() libc call to determine this implementation.
sysinfo() isn't implemented in glibc.

I've added a (somewhat Linux specific) workaround for -p -i in 2.0.12-3.

Fix confirmed with sh-utils-12.0.12-3.
