yes we're messing with the uname in order to force the compile of the
correct code.
We rename uname to uname.old (so you can always copy it back) and create a
bash script uname. It then calls uname.old and replaces the necessary
strings to 'simulate' the correct CPU.
This usually happens when you interrupt the build process in the wrong
moment. If that happens, just copy the uname.old over to uname and it
should work again.
