Oooh, that does not bode well.  I would be interested in knowing what
the differences are.  This means that the SymTable is slightly broken;
I'll need to apply the architecture to the SymTable as well.  Hmm..
Not too hard for the x86 processors, but might be more challenging for
the athlon.. Maybe...

Any idea what /proc/cpuinfo returns on an athlon system running with
an athlon kernel?  I would need to know that in order to process this
correctly.

Looks like they added 'athlon' as a separate type in the 2.4.3 kernel.
Shouldn't be a problem.

Sorry.  It's a bit more challenging that you would think....

Thanks.  That would be extremely useful.
