Summary: uname -a doesn't detect my operating system
(mismatch with coreutils)
Description:
Coreutils behavior:
$ uname -a
Linux hexapod 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=1 SMP Fri
Jun 27 16:14:35 EDT 2008
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Busybox behavior:
$ ./busybox uname -a
Linux hexapod 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=1 SMP Fri
Jun 27 16:14:35 EDT 2008
i686 unknown
Coreutils properly detects my OS as "i686 i386 GNU/Linux", but busybox
says "unknown" instead.

man uname says:
-p, --processor
print the processor type or "unknown"
so unknown seems to be a legal value.

sure, it's legal, but is it a problem that it doesn't recognize GNU/Linux
when coreutils does? feel free to close this issue if you don't think
it's actually a problem at all. thanks.
