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...
