I think /etc/rpm/platform is derived from the results of uname. I'd have
to look into the RPM stuff itself to be sure - this is from memory. The
reason we got this idea was a simple compare of the results of "uname -a"
from my main server (dual Athlon). The architecture types are grouped as:
"i686 athlon i386".

On my DS10, the same fields come up as: "alpha alpha alpha". From memory
(and if anyone's got RH7.2 running on an EV6, please confirm), this used
to be "alpha alphaev6 alpha".
