Hello Leif,

uname -a output on a Ubuntu 5.10 box with a generic AMD64 kernel

Linux hermione 2.6.12-9-amd64-generic #1 Mon Oct 10 13:27:39 BST 2005
x86_64 GNU/Linux


uname -a output on a Gentoo box with a kernel compiled for EM64T

Linux potter 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Wed Nov 2 08:41:48 CET 2005 x86_64
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux


As you can imagine, the uname -m output for both system is x86_64.


os.name and os.arch are

os.name='Linux' os.arch='amd64'

(SUN JDK and IBM JDK)


I wouldn't make a difference between the AMD64 and EM64T builds. The
binaries for AMD64 are sufficient for EM64T.

We don't have a IA64 box here. I don't know what uname returns, but the
os.arch should be "ia64" with a IBM JDK.

Regards,
Martin
