Oh, I guess that it's "Linux <empty_string_for_architecture>". Maybe we need to fix that message ... > PLATFORMS="$platform" > if [ $system = 'Darwin' ]; then > PLATFORMS="osx-intel osx-64 osx-ppc osx-universal" > fi No, this only means that if one is working on OS X, it will build binaries for three architectures + universal ones, so the same script runs 4 times in a loop to build them all. $platform string is still not empty. > so I assumed that all the other platforms would be unknown.

No, you are not, but I never realized that the script doesn't work on your computer. > uname -m: ppc64 > uname -s: Linux OK, so Mac is not the only faulty player here :) OS X tends to say uname -m: i386 while being purely 64-bit system (exactly the contrary).

The only question remains: what happens if some gentoo user starts using (or compiling) the binaries? I would not like to make too many problems around it, I would just like to understand, so that we might have a chance to fix it properly (if such a chance exists), else we'll just assume that ppc and ppc64 are equal until someone starts complaining.
