This has been discussed upstream; see:

* http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-09/msg00053.html for a 
more discussed thread, or
* http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-04/msg00089.html for a 
to-the-point one.

There are other hits, BTW.

Summary, as far as I can understand: coreutils will not provide 'uname
-p -i' on Linux platforms since the 'sysinfo()' call does not support
it, and /proc is er, considered too Linux-specific.

I would tend to mark this one INVALID, but I agree this should be
available somewhere...
