We do use the EM_xxx number space but that isn't sufficient to distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit incarnations of certain machine types (S390,SH,MIPS,...). I didn't much like adding it either, but couldn't see a better option. I pondered strings but we want to filter on this and don't want to have to use strcmp. Got any better answers? > (btw, could you please add to all patches who's responsible for them, > bk-audit.patch doesn't tell) If it were just to point to the BK tree, that might help.
