 $ man 2 uname
Quoting from that man page:
 [...] the operating system Âpresumably Âknows Âits name, Ârelease
 and version.  It also knows what hardware it runs on.
Perhaps a downside, it returns the machine type as a string. ÂDoes that
do what you want?
I also find "man linux32" rather interesting:
 Âsetarch Â- Âchange reported architecture in new program environment
 Âand set personality flags
Might be useful for testing.
