Synopsis: uname(1) uses UNAME_<flag> variables even if those are empty State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: kib State-Changed-When: Sun Apr 18 20:57:40 UTC 2010 State-Changed-Why: I think that uname(1) behaviour is right. There is no reason to special-case any value for the environment variables. Somebody might really want the empty values for whatever reason. Your case is better handled by usual trick of wrapping the invocation of the program with env(1), where you can set or _unset_ any environment variable. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=132182
