|    Compile fails on "weird" platforms    |
|    11 Dec 15 17:10:00    |
      Guys,              There are a couple of #ifdef's in some files that simply define       strings for displaying the architecture and OS the MBSE instance       is running on.              These are sort of a pain because I have to go and manually hack       the files to remove the #ifdefs and just define the string myself       (running Debian/s390x on an emulated IBM z/Series Mainframe - yes,       I'm crazy).              Anyway, could I propose a change to these platform detecting        #ifdefs that they fail with a warning about an unsupported/unknown       platform but continue compiling.              I've had no problems getting MBSE compiled and up and running on       Debian s/390x but I have to hack the code to return a string of my       own choosing in place of the ifdefs..              ...
