It essentially returns the > same thing as uname -m. My FC4 system has this command. The java/linux-blackdown-jre11 comes with a "arch" script for this purpose. Since 1.1.8 is ... well ... very old and nobody supports it anymore (security), I suggest to either use the port, or to copy the script from there to the bin directory. So far this is the only request for this "uname -m"-wrapper and does not look that important to include in linux_base. But feel free to come up with reasons why it should be included.
