   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..
