Hackish, indeed... I think that encoding the arch might be the cleanest
thing. And it allows some other things down the road too
Yeah. I have a feeling there were problems with putting the arch (or
even a letter signifying it) unto $(uname -r). Can't actually remember
them right now, so maybe I'm imagining it.
It would also help to stop people compiling kernel modules against the
wrong-arch kernel-devel package (i586 vs. i686) too, right?
