[erlang-patches] [PATCH] Detect arm/armel as ARCH=arm (to enable HiPE later on)

[Michael Stapelberg]

Hi Mikael,

Excerpts from Mikael Pettersson's message of 2010-09-23 00:14:05 +0200:

The output of an original gnu-coreutils version looks quite similar:

Nokia-N900:~# /usr/bin/gnu/uname -a
Linux Nokia-N900 2.6.28.10power40 #1 PREEMPT Tue Aug 10 09:30:52 EEST 2010 armv7l GNU/Linux
Nokia-N900:~# uname -a
Linux Nokia-N900 2.6.28.10power40 #1 PREEMPT Tue Aug 10 09:30:52 EEST 2010 armv7l unknown

Are the missing fields you mentioned the following?

Nokia-N900:~# /usr/bin/gnu/uname -p    
unknown
Nokia-N900:~# /usr/bin/gnu/uname -i
unknown

Sure thing. I’ll file a bug report at bugs.maemo.org and submit a patch for the
erlang package there.

Best regards,
