@bugaevc It's not too hard to patch the uname SYSCALL to return the correct OS name (GNU/Linux) and it's very nice to have applications display the correct OS name.

It's trivial to patch uname(1) to handle the uname SYSCALL returning the correct string as well, which means that build systems that use that work fine, the only issue then is build systems that rely on incorrect uname(2) behavior.


It seems the only easy fix to the problem is to switch to GNU/Hurd.
