This (building) is BY FAR my biggest concern about changing ANY of the
entries returned by "uname -mpi".

There's so much perl and python and sh and whatnot code out there that
expects certain things for "uname -m", abd possibly both of the
others, that I'm very fearful of the impact of changes... :-(

I guess it's prolly gonna be "try it and see" time... ;-}
