Does uname have the same problem?  It already has a "--processor"
option and IMHO it would be better to get similar information using
the same tool.

By the way, under GNU/Linux `uname --processor' returns "unknown".  Do
you think it is a good idea to read this information from "/proc"?

Cheers,
Giuseppe
