I was skeptical of this change at first, but after reading the thread on the mailing list, I think this makes a lot of sense, especially because it doesn't break backwards compatibility. Thanks for investigating this! |

fixes #2041
See my comment here: #2041 (comment)
I think this is the best solution to the
-pand-iflags in uname, which have been deprecated for a while and aren't supported in most implementations of uname. All other options come from this function as part of the kernel.With this solution these options don't show up in the help page of the program, or the
-aoutput.Some Linux distributions like Debian have already removed these options completely. This is unlikely to break any scripts as discussed here.
