But it's called '/proc/ppc64' right now on lots of machines, so you can't go changing it.if test -d /proc/ppc64 .. is a quick way to check wether the system is 64bit or not. Similar to if test -d /proc/iSeries ..That's really ugly ! You really do that ? Gack...What way should I use?uname ? /proc/cpuinfo ? Whatever but not that.
uname can be faked with powerpc32 or setarch. grep POWER /proc/cpuinfo might be an option. I think its only used in rpm preinstall scripts to reject 64bit kernel on 32bit systems or the other way around.
