            Bug ID: 266632
           Summary: uname: switch machine to HW_MACHINE_ARCH
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: arm64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: pkubaj@FreeBSD.org

Due to uname(3) setting machine type to what uname -m prints, we currently have
various ports issues with e.g. Python, Perl or Firefox. There is proposal in
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35962 to change the machine type in uname(3). This
would benefit powerpc*, riscv* and armv* platforms.

Please perform exp-run on arm64 / aarch64 machines with the patch from the
above review. amd64 or i386 machines here can't be used since they won't be
affected by that patch.
