[issue7146] platform.uname()[4] returns 'amd64' on Windows and 'x86-64' on Linux

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Right, Marc-Andre indicates that cross-platform consistency is not a goal of the platform uname.  If someone wants to propose a patch for the possible enhancement to platform that Marc-Andre talked about, they can open a new issue.
