What about using the machine field of uname(2): $ man 2 uname Quoting from that man page: [...] the operating system presumably knows its name, release and version. It also knows what hardware it runs on. Perhaps a downside, it returns the machine type as a string. Does that do what you want? I also find "man linux32" rather interesting: setarch - change reported architecture in new program environment and set personality flags Might be useful for testing.
