It doesn't solve the problem that we inheriantly depend on the UNAME
hack for ports to work. Yes, a lot breaks without it, but having it in

STOP INSULTING ME. I said before that I don't have time to waste and
that is what fixing after ports is. For pkgsrc I can be at least
somewhat sure that the same issue won't hunt me again and again.
