Mmm i386 is for intel, sure. But x86 targets a wider set of platforms (intel and AMD). So I always saw i386 as a subset of x86.
Am I far off ?

I just saw "platform intel" Does that really work ?
I really have no idea about "x86" or "platform intel". Where is the code in base that autoselects platforms? We could look there to see what it supports.
it fetches uname, so whatever comes out is good
Ah. Well, uname -a shows i386 on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X, but I don't know what it outputs on all other operating systems on all other computers. So what do we do now?
Part of the code that sets the platform name is in base/src/port1.0/ portmain.tcl, but I have to admit I don't remember the original question of this post in order to provide a helpful answer :-S What is it that we're trying to agree on? An Intel Mac appropriate platform name? intel? i386? something else? Regards,... -jmpp
