axp question 'bout uname voodoo

Hi!

We have a discussion on alpha mailinglist at the moment, because of uname -mpi.

AFAIK, uname -m should do some glibc call, which calls kernel, right?

However, I have two machines:

AS1000A:
[root@tyskie ~]# uname -mpi && cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model
alpha alpha alpha
cpu model : EV56

DS10:
[root@gosa ~]# uname -mpi && cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep model
alpha alpha alpha
cpu model : EV67

Shouldn't uname rport alphaev67 and alphaev56? Maybe it's just a .config problem. Maybe the kernel needs to be compiled for the different sub-arches!?

Any help would be great.

Thx,
Oliver
