Notice that I said "either".
Noted, sorry that I missed it.
Does Hurd support the interface to supply 'uname -p' information?
The implication from reading this is your statement is that it does
not. In which case 'uname -p' on GNU Hurd is not useful either.
It doesn't work currently, but there are no reasons why one couldn't
add such support.
Because basically when dealing with a command as non-portable as
uname you should take these differences into consideration now
already.
They are only non-portable across different operating systems (say
OpenBSD vs GNU). My point is that coreutils main goal is not to be
portable across various operating systems, if `uname -p' outputs
`unknown' on platforms that can't provide that info, then that is
fine.
Cheers.
