Interesting. I have yet to have "getconf WORD_BIT" return 64.
Here's Fedora 3 on a P4:
$ uname -m
i686
$ getconf WORD_BIT
32
Here's RHES3 on IA64:
$ uname -m
ia64
$ getconf WORD_BIT
32
Here's Solaris 8 on an e450 (UltraSparc-II, and probably a bad example):
$ uname -m
sun4u
$ getconf WORD_BIT
32
Here's Irix 6.5.24 on an Origin 3900 (R14000):
$ uname -m
IP35
$ getconf WORD_BIT
16
I don't have any x86_64 machines around to look at. Does "getconf"
really return "64" on that architecture?
