The automatic sysname guessing code (in lib/go/gensysname.c) needs
updating, we just need to figure out what it should do. There seems to be a
lot of different naming schemes around. Originally, the Arla team decided
on i386_linux6 and similar. 6 is the libc version. For practically all
binaries, this really does make more sense than depending on the kernel
major version. But maybe we should add a configure option or smth to allow
for the Transarc/OpenAFS way too. And then there is the i386_rh9 way.

At least we'll add a few more architectures. Any thoughts/requests?
