 What information is the build system trying to determine by running
 `uname`? I can almost guarantee that `uname` is not the right tool for the
 job. `uname` tells you what machine you're building on. It doesn't tell
 you what machine you're building for. (Consider what would happen when
 building for i386 on PowerPC, or for ppc on Intel.)

 Yes, in fancy scenarios it won’t work, and that is a typical problem of
 `uname`, as it is often used – it breaks the build.
 I cannot subscribe to “isn’t any more right” part – at least that fixes a
 native build on PPC, but anyway, let’s wait if the developer fixes it
 appropriately.
