What's this?  I'm looking for all the possible uname and the like
which we could include in the config.log.  Currently, you have:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by  (Autoconf 2.49b) 2.49b, executed with
 > ./configure --no-create --no-recursion

on nostromo:

uname -m = i686
uname -r = 2.2.17
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 Sat Sep 9 12:42:22 EST 2000

/usr/bin/uname -p = 
/bin/uname -X     = 

hostinfo               = 
/bin/universe          = 
/usr/bin/arch -k       = 
/bin/arch              = i686
/usr/bin/oslevel       = 
/usr/convex/getsysinfo = 

I'm really looking for all the means to enrich our knowledge of the
user's system.

Yep, I seem to remember it's in the K&R book first edition, so it
should be quite safe.
