 I'm tempted to say that if you don't have the machines, you don't
need to know!  From a practical viewpoint, anybody can try
cross-compiling for architectures they don't have, and sometimes
find problems, but without the hardware you can't prove that it will
work. :)

 On a point of order, I don't think an unpatched uname will return
i.86 although clearly you can use i.86 in a regex to match it.

 For powerpc, 'ppc' for 32-bit, 'ppc64' for 64-bit.

 If you are going to process this in the shell, some of the :Linux
values in /usr/share/automake-1.9/config.guess might prove helpful.
