  uname -p and uname -i reporting `unknown'

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: coreutils

  got bitten by build scripts using these; apparently on other
  distributions they report something else than `unknown'. these
  configure scripts make wrong assumptions:

         -p, --processor
                print the processor type or "unknown"

         -i, --hardware-platform
                print the hardware platform or "unknown"

  Nevertheless for less surprises it would be useful to set these values
  to something else than "unknown".
