Check out /etc/rpm/platform; We need to fix this for the different 
sub-archs I believe... And then check /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/*.

Arg. Even uname -m reports the wrong thing on my DS10. :-( Havn't 
checked the AS1000 yet.

[root at gosa ~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep EV; uname -m; cat /etc/rpm/platform
cpu model               : EV67
alpha
alpha-redhat-linux
